Recap – Cradle-to-Career’s February 8th Board Meeting

Cradle-to-Career’s Governing Board meetings are public and one of the main ways for community members to engage in C2C’s work, but we know not everyone has seven hours to dedicate to watch an all-day meeting. As we center accessibility, our meetings are now available with Spanish and American Sign Language interpretation. We’ve also provided an overview of our board meeting, highlighting key discussions and topics to make it easy to find the information you need.

Student Experience Audit 

C2C is mandated to conduct a student experience audit annually, which will surface the barriers and issues that students face as we work to build the data system. 
 
Conducted in partnership with WestEd in Fall 2022, the first student audit focused on learning about the experiences of high school students from frontline educators and identified pain points and challenges as well as promising practices for improvement that can be addressed through the use of existing practical tools like CaliforniaColleges.edu. We look forward to conducting an even more robust student experience audit later this year to hear directly from students.
