The Yucca Valley Town Council was host last night to a special guest speaker and a discussion of the CDBG funds. Reporter Joshua King has the details…
The meeting began with a Copper Mountain College flair, as Student Government Vice President Joseph Candelaria led the Pledge of Allegiance, shortly followed by a college update by CMC President/Superintendent Dr. Daren Otten.
Copper Mountain College continues to meet Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior College guidelines, and the majority of classes remain online. In the fall, 30 to 40% of the class schedule is expected to be online in a “best-case scenario,” according to Otten. Although CMC has seen a decline of 11% on headcount and 17-18% on total enrollment, Otten stressed that costs should not be a barrier for those looking to start attending school in the future.
Following, the council voted to approve $90,000 of the CDBG-CV3 funds for improvements for the Senior Center and Community Center kitchens.
