Funding of E Pod: Karin Williams discussed
the meeting with Sharon Ball from LCS at CVCS on Sept. 12th.
It was a productive meeting. Sharon

She mentioned a three step plan beginning with being properly included
in the School District's Facilities Plan. Karin met with Superintendent
Wilson, who was very positive about adding CVCS to the District's
long-term Facilities Plan. The details will be worked out at the next district
principals' meeting on Wednesday Oct 3 at 4pm, which Karin will attend. Next
step will be to secure a spot
on the PSCOC meeting agenda in November.
