Good afternoon Stockton CSC,

Thank you all, once again, for the thorough review of the first draft of the CERP! There were several comments from the CSC, both during the recent CSC meeting and sent in the form of formal comments, which provided great suggestions for improvement and adjustment to the next draft of the CERP.

Thanks for your patience while the District worked to address questions and incorporate those CSC suggestions in this next proposed draft CERP.

As a reminder, our next CSC meeting in Wednesday, March 3, at 5 p.m. (with potential to go until 7:30 p.m.) The agenda is posted here.

As discussed, we will be taking time to review any additional CERP comments and look to take a vote on supporting the draft CERP for adoption by the District Governing Board on March 18.
