McCasland effort brings about formal decision on not selling the Sedona Center
It has taken more than a year, but the College District Governing Board finally agreed to formally take the Yavapai Community College Sedona Center off the auction block as a part of the ten-year-development plan. That action was taken at the Governing Board meeting on Tuesday when it was removed from the ten-year-plan by a 5-0 vote.
The measure was formally brought before the Board for a decision because of the efforts of Board Representative Deb McCasland. Since she was elected to the Board, McCasland has consistently pushed to have the development plan reviewed including the selling of the Sedona Center.
The formal Board decision was made possible only because of the tireless efforts of outraged Sedona citizens and others, who protested the action repeatedly to the Board over the past year, the Sedona City Council, the former and present Sedona Mayors, and the Verde Valley Board Advisory Committee.
Congratulations to everyone for saving post-secondary education for the Sedona area of the County!
