The commission placed Shasta College on probation in January 2012. ���The recent action by ACCJC is a recognition of the diligence and dedication of all the staff here at the college,��� Superintendent and President Joe Wyse said in a press release. ���Our progress over the last 12 months in planning and decisionmaking at Shasta has been phenomenal, and we have become a stronger institution with a renewed vision for our students.��� To earn its way off probation Shasta College developed a longterm Educational Master Plan. In the past 12 months the school has also created a strategic plan, finalized an Integrated Planning Cycle and manual to guide decision making at the college and made progress on work to assess student learning outcomes. ���Our new planning process requires college-wide participation and collaboration which definitely includes faculty,��� said Academic Senate President Jennifer McCandless. ���Although this process has been on paper for a while in one form or another, this is the first time in my 15-year tenure at Shasta College that I have seen it fully implemented. It is working really well so far and getting off probation is a definite sign that the ACCJC believes we are on National teen dating violence awareness month Join Alternatives to Violence in getting out the message to initiate and support efforts in the community and schools, and in families, to empower young people to develop healthy relationships throughout their lives and to engage in activities that prevent and respond to teen dating violence.

CORNING ��� The City Council approved Tuesday���s seeking additional funds to assist with the grant the Paskenta Band of the Nomlaki Indians brought to the city in January. At the Jan. 22 meeting, an Memorandum of Understanding was brought to the council, one of several community partners involved in the Everett Freeman Promise Neighborhood Initiative Planning Grant. In conjunction with that grant, which will be used to apply for the implementation grant that would bring $6 million a year for five years, there is a Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program Grant, Councilman Tony Cardenas said. ���This is a part of the puzzle with the bigger ($6 million) grant, which the tribe is the lead agency,��� Cardenas said. ���This is the law enforcement part of the grant, but since they don���t have a police department they can���t apply for it. Since part of the area covered by Corning Police is tribal land, they can.��� The grant would give Corning as much as $1 million over a 36-month period with $150,000 for the first 15 months for planning, he said. ���The big part with the federal government is it has to be evidence based,��� Cardenas said. ���They want to make sure we come up with a plan that will have an impact on gangs and drugs, which is the focus of our development program.��� Following the initial See GRANT, page 9A Special Rodeo set for today By JULIE ZEEB DN Staff Writer The California High School Rodeo Association will be holding its annual Special Rodeo around noon today as part of the Interdistrict Rodeo.
