SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Request Approval of the Activities Calendar for Civil Air Patrol (CAP) - 2015/2016
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The CAP activities calendar contains activities which all CAP chapters may participate in with their students throughout the year.  A list of the co-curricular activities for October 2015 through December 2016 is attached. 

Approval of this calendar allows students to participate in related CAP in-county and out-of-county activities.  Through involvement in CAP activities, students are able to strengthen leadership capabilities and improve personal attributes.  Students excel from their participation in CAP because of the recognition they receive, the confidence-building activities they undertake, and the opportunities provided to utilize practical and academic learning. 

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Increase promotion rates at all grade levels and the percentage of high school graduates • Demonstrate consistent and effective teaching methods • Motivate students to become responsible learners • Challenge and support all students with an appropriate curriculum
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
Activities will be funded by school internal accounts.
EVALUATION
Over 40 students participated in CAP activities during the 2014/2015 school year.  Activities will be evaluated by the program supervisor based on the number of students participating and the impact on student achievement.
