  D. Approval: College and Career Access Pathways Partnership (CCAP) agreement between LCPS and Chabot College Vote Robbie Torney 2 m
   

Recommendation: The CEO and Director of College and Career Success recommend approval of the CCAP agreement between Chabot College and LCPS.  This would expand dual credit course offerings for our two high schools.  We currently have a CCAP agreement with the Peralta System through OUSD (Laney, Berkeley City College, Merritt, and College of Alameda) and this agreement would give us an additional college as we expand our Dual Credit programming.

Recommendation:  CEO approves the adoption of this LCPS Policy, which has been prepared by our Legal Counsel at YMC.  As a public charter school that took on tax-exempt bonds backed by the California Schools Finance Authority (CSFA), we will need to follow this policy aligned to procurement procedures for federally funded projects for any capital expenditure funded by the $3MM as part of our bond package.
