Mr. Lanzotti said that approximately 12 months ago, the Cape Girardeau Area Magnet Board of Directors began a nationwide search for Executive Director. None of the applicants met the high standards of the Board. During that time, the Magnet Board of Directors reevaluated its position for management and looked at similar organizations and determined that a team approach would work best. As such, the Magnet Board of Directors has contracted with Mr. John Mehner at the Cape Girardeau Area Chamber ofCommerce forthose services, including getting contributions for the entire Chamber team and the possible hire of a new staff member for marketing. All of the supporting entities in Magnet supported this decision. This is a 2year contract commitment. Mrs. Schneider said that she attended a meeting of the Partnership for Higher Education, located at the Cape Girardeau Career and Technology Center. It is a partnership of Mineral Area College, Southeast Missouri State University, and Three Rivers College. Mrs. Schneider said that the Partnership has reached a point where it can move to the next level. At this point, the Partnership for Higher Education cannot be called a community college even though it is functioning that way. The next order of business is to give it a name other than the Partnership for Higher Education. Proceedings of the City Council, City of Cape Girardeau, Mo. Reanlar Session, December 17, 2012 II -204 Three proposals have been presented: Great River Higher Education Center, Cape Girardeau Higher Education Center, and Cape Girardeau Community College Center. It cannot be called a community college until a taxing district is established. The partnering presidents will come back to the Board with their preferred name. The Partnership for Higher Education has a marketing task force that have presented three points for a campaign to move to a community college: students can earn an Associate of Arts degree, high school students participating in the A+ program can have their college classes paid for, and community college attendance has proven in other instances to be a path to a 4 -year degree.
