“Just a couple of hours after the board voted 4-1 to place the general obligation bond measure on the Nov. 2 ballot, a yet-to-be-named committee congregated at the Hampton Inn & Suites at the boundary of Banning and Beaumont to officially kickoff the campaign.”
“Gene Kadow, president of the BOT and the district’s Area 1 representative,”
“His wife, Ronna Kadow, is the campaign manager. We’ve been working unofficially for a few months to give the campaign some roots.”
Blog:
Kadow appointing his wife “campaign manager” is amusing. He is indeed the puppeteer of the project.
Without state approval by CPEC (California Post Secondary Education Commission) the project will NOT qualify for state matching grants, bond or operating, until it generates 500 FTES (Full-time equivalent students) which would be upwards of 1200-1500 enrollments and/or +250 sections.
MSJC has NOT submitted to the Chancellors office or CPEC, a ‘letter of intent’ for this project or begun the comprehensive enrollment studies, etc. required by CPEC for state approval. CPEC won’t stop the project, but the project will not be able to compete for state funds, capital construction bonds and/or operating.
