“CA” Conditioned Air – Board Staff Processing Applications Process:
Note: Application processes have changed, may continue to change, but we heard that this is basically the current process.
There are NO Application Deadline Dates any more.
You can send in your complete Application Package anytime, but read below.Application Approvals/Denials are now also Continuous or year-round, so no specific dates.
What history shows us is that the Board staff typically takes a few weeks to ‘Process” the Applications and make sure they are ready and 100% correct (no deficiencies by student) before they send it to the Board Members for their review for Approval or Denial.
Some Applications may need to be reviewed in more detail, so these MAY be held until the next Board Meeting Date.
“CA” Conditioned Air – Board Meeting Dates for 2024:
All Board Meeting Dates are on a Wednesday.
