Clancy Wells Stadium Master Plan Agreement

For approval.


Items discussed:

  • The current Stadium is not earthquake or ADA compliant.
  • This report will help us decide (with CCSD) how to proceed with the current Stadium. (Demolish vs. Renovate).
  • CCSD is also completing a structural analysis on the Stadium.
  • The point of the analysis is to encourage CCSD to fix the Stadium or use some of our JICHS budget to start the project

2023-24 Progressive Discipline Plan (PDP)

For approval.


Items discussed:

  • CCSD's Progressive Discipline Plan is now drastically restrictive and the JICHS Administration looked at each offense and wants to give students the opportunity to change before receiving such harsh
  • We want to note that the PDP became more lenient two years ago and the 2023-24 version has first-time offenses as outdoor suspensions (i.e., vaping, cutting class).

Motion to adopt the JICHS Administration's changes to CCSD version of the Progressive Discipline Plan.
