CPC Update
9-20-2024
Notes from Emily
Also, for those of you who missed the impromptu meeting today during the Birthday Celebration, I shared some exciting details regarding the district master plan for the next couple of years and how it directly impacts us. Project Pheonix is being put on hold for now in order for the district to focus on maximizing our current space to expand program offerings. This is all in an effort to cut into the 1700+ waitlist over the next two years. With programs being added and shuffled around, this means that CSA, BSMA and PT-ENG are moving to Rockwell into Campus Center. This requires our office area to move. The current Project HOPE building will be renovated to create a true Student Services area where all of CPC, including Assessment & CRD, plus the Book Store, Attendance and Financial Aid will be housed together. In addition to creating a more conducive area for all the enrollment needs for our prospective students, this will also help secure Campus Center and keep outside visitors from being in the same halls as our students. None of this will happen overnight, but change is on the horizon. Renovation of the building cannot occur until Project HOPE has their new building to move into, obviously. More details on all the changes across the district is coming in an email from Dr. Scott later this afternoon.
Celebrating Olli's Adoption!
September Birthday Celebration!
District Updates:
Policy Changes:
Several policies were updated in the September 9th board meeting. Here are a couple that need immediate attention:
Covid Leave:
The Emergency Leave policy was updated to include the following:
- COVID was removed as a reason to use Emergency Leave - CDC now recommends same as any other respiratory illness
If you are sick with Covid after this board change, you will need to use sick or annual leave when staying home and not feeling well.
Personal Leave:
If you choose to use personal leave for an absence, it now requires a minimum of a 48-hour notice in requesting.
Flu Shots:
New Phone System:
The new phone system is still being worked on. The timeline for implementation is sometime mid-spring 2025. More to come!
