Board adopts College and Career Access Pathways agreement with Crafton Hills College

The Big Bear Valley Unified School District governing board approved a College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) agreement with Crafton Hills College. The agreement formalizes a partnership that allows district students to take college-level and career-technical courses for both high school and college credit.

Why it matters: CCAP agreements expand student access to college coursework and career pathways while providing a structured route to college credit and career-technical education. District staff said the partnership will preserve local courses such as aviation while opening potential additional CTE offerings in medical fields and other career areas.

Board action: a board member moved and the board approved the CCAP agreement by voice vote. Board members thanked staff for negotiating the agreement and noted that the Crafton Hills president has ties to the community and interest in supporting local students.

Next steps: district staff and college partners will finalize course lists, ensure transferability and continue to communicate CTE and CCAP opportunities to students and families.
