Included in this email are links to some outstanding resources that have been provided to us by the California Partnership for the San Joaquin Valley, the California Workforce Investment Board, and the Institute for Higher Education & Leadership Policy at CSU, Sacramento.

In addition, the Central Region Consortium office has received a NEW CREDIT PROGRAM APPLICATION from Fresno City College to offer an A.A. Degree in American Sign Language Studies. 

As required by the CCCCO, the designated lead CTE administrators in our region will review Fresno City College's application and submit a vote via electronic ballot to endorse or deny it on May 25, 2011.  You may view the complete application on the CRC Website at Program & Course Approval.  If you have questions about this application, please contact your college's lead CTE administrator.

The Central Region Consortium's Annual Planning Conference, focusing on Negotiating the Waters of Diversified Funding Streams, is just a few weeks away!  If you have not already made plans to participate on June 1, 2, and 3, 2011, you still have time to register and secure lodging at the discounted group rate!    For details, go to http://www.crconsortium.com and select the Events link.
