4.B.2) Update on Central Campus Program Expansion in Fredonia, Grand Canyon, Page, and Williams
Description:
CAVIAT/CCC Central Campus-We are meeting with CCC staff on Feb 4th to discuss how to take the Flagstaff model and emulate it in Fredonia, Grand Canyon, Page and Williams. I will have more info re: CCCCC on Feb 13th.
Grand Canyon-The CAVIAT team meets with GC leadership on March 30th to discuss classes for next school year. We had requested an earlier date but they are fully consumed with their audit and accreditation. We have suggested that we investigate three “new” options for CTE in SY 15/16: · Audio Visual (they are piloting this course right now, have a qualified instructor and we are meeting with him as well on the 30th of March.) · Friday class-two options…Medical Professions Foundations in Williams or a CAVIAT Central Campus Program at rented GCHS space on Fridays…possibly HRM. · CAVIAT/CCC courses. As noted above, we are meeting with CCC on the 4th and hope to have this delivery system so we can proceed with recruitment for these classes. To boot, we hope to have a CAVIAT parent/student informational night in April after we decided on “next steps” with GCHS. Fredonia- We will be meeting with Fredonia leadership on March 12th. Also, we have a few requests with Fredonia leadership to meet in Feb, after the CCC meeting, but have yet to hear back confirmation from Fredonia. CAVIAT has sent all parties an invitation and are awaiting response. Our goal in Fredonia is very similar to GCHS: · Friday class-two options…Marine Tech in Page or a CAVIAT Central Campus Program at rented Fredonia space on Fridays…possibly Public Service Foundations. · CAVIAT/CCC courses. As noted above, we are meeting with CCC on the 4th and hope to have this delivery system so we can proceed with recruitment for these classes. We hope to return in late March/April for a student/parent informational night Page-CAVIAT is holding a student/parent informational night Feb 17th, at our district office/Page Central Campus. We will be recruiting for Marine Power, and Extreme Sports Technology class (Marine Tech), CAVIAT/CCC Central Campus offerings and HOPEFULLY one more Central Class (possibly Public Service or Fashion Design and Merchandising). We will be running ads, NewsBlasts and direct mailings to all PHS students. Williams-The CAVIAT student interest survey was taken, results were compiled and CAVIAT awaits response from WUSD re: a meeting to discuss next steps. in Williams, we plan to run: · Friday class-Medical Professions Foundations · CAVIAT/CCC courses. As noted above, we are meeting with CCC on the 4th and hope to have this delivery system so we can proceed with recruitment for these classes. |

After meeting with CCC on the 4th, we will have a better idea if this model, currently operating in Flagstaff, is viable in other communities. |

4.B.2)b. Update on facility rental rates for Fredonia, Grand Canyon and Williams
Description:
In the event CAVIAT is able to operate Central Campus programs in Fredonia, Grand Canyon and Williams, and classroom space is needed, these are their respective rental rates, and are reflected in the program budgets.

Other JTEDs and Trade Schools, nationwide, partner with established Cosmo schools, similar to partnering with the CC, to provide the training, via a tuition, like our current CCC model.
