Charge of the committee

• Examine the co/extra-curricular programs at CVU
  and propose changes on how to expand options for
  all students. The group will be guided by the
  following principles
• Develop and expand programs to meet the needs of
  a diverse student body including those programs
  that would be considered extra curricular in
  nature and those which are tied to the curriculum
  such as school trips.
• Develop systems to support those programs that
  are the most cost effective
• Develop a list of options and pros and cons

Student Travel at CVU

• Current major trips Greece, France, Costa Rica,
  Habitat for Humanity, Holocaust.
• Freshman Core, Arts, Languages, and Social
  Studies courses also perform day trips.
• Extended trips limit number of participants, must
  apply and be accepted.
• Cost on extended trips is prohibitive to some
  students participation and causing potential
  equity/diversity issues.

• As CVUs enrollment has grown, so has the number
  of applicants for travel programs.
• Students have been turned down for the Greek,
  French, and Habitat for Humanity trips.
• Committee recommends
• Consider increasing frequency or number of trips.
• Establishment of a committee to oversee trips
  taken and how funds can be raised to make travel
  available to all students.

How Did We Get Here?

• If students are interested in an activity or club
  that does not exist, they can create one via
  existing application process
• To create or drop a financially (CVU budget)
  supported activity
• Add and drop guideline/procedure is used.

10
Things to Consider

• Almost every space used for co/extra curricular
  activities is also used during the school day as
  a teaching space.
• Proposed spaces and facilities would allow for
  increased student activity after school, as well
  as improved teaching spaces during the school
  day.
• Some of the current spaces are not adequate for
  what we presently offer.

11
Recommendations to Support Current Program

• Soundproof performance rooms-instrumental/choral/d
  rama
• Gymnasium allow all teams reasonable practice
  times/Teaching space/Intramurals/Large meeting
  area
• Expand Locker Rooms inadequate space
• All Weather Track unable to host track meets
  past 2 years (01-02) reduces opportunities to
  compete.
• Extra Playing Field allow for adequate practice
  space, rotate fields, student safety.
• Outdoor Storage Space/Public Restrooms.
• Indoor storage space-performance/athletics-allow
  access to performance materials for all
  curricular areas
• Additional performance area-chorus/band currently
  share

12
Recommendations to Expand Opportunities

• Gymnasium
• Multi-purpose Room
• Fitness Center
• Dance Studio
• Two new playing fields (130 x 85 yds)
• Locker room expansion
• Tennis Courts (4)
• All Weather Track
• Possible expanded sports team/intramural options
  (i.e. football, volleyball, rugby, ultimate
  frisbee, tennis)

13
Performance Areas

• Add or retro-fit performance areas to be
  soundproof.
• Small break out rooms for individual rehearsal,
  dressing rooms, etc.
• Large assembly area

• Currently noise from practice areas travels
  throughout the building.
• Currently only large spaces are available.
• Auditorium is often needed for assembly purposes,
  causing classes held there to be moved or
  cancelled.

14
Gymnasium

• Practice times are often very early or very late.
  Some teams get very little practice time.
• No space currently available in winter for
  intramurals
• With addition of new core and increased
  enrollment, new teaching space is needed.
• Create another large assembly space for students.

• Allow all teams reasonable practice times.
• Provide space for intramurals.
• Increased teaching space.
• Large assembly area.

15
Locker Rooms

• Increase locker room and team rooms for increased
  number of students and athletes.
• Provide spaces for CVU and visiting teams.

• Currently students use bathrooms and classrooms
  due to lack of space.
• Teams assemble in training room, hallways or
  fitness areas.

16
All Weather Track

• Provide safe, reliable area for students to
  practice and compete.
• Space for community to use for fitness purposes
• Potential space for middle school track meets.

• CVU Track and Field team unable to host meet for
  past two years, loss of competition.
• Current track poses some safety concerns.
• CVU students/athletes unable to measure
  themselves on a daily basis with adequate surface.

17
Two Additional Playing Fields

• Allow for adequate and safe, practice and game
  fields.
• Fields could be rotated annually to allow for
  recovery from excess use.
• Increased field space could allow for outdoor
  intramurals and increase in athletic teams.

• Current fields are overused.
• Practice space is limited for number of teams we
  currently have.
• Playing fields deteriorate quickly with no rest
  time.
• Field space currently limits after school
  intramurals, and potential new sport offerings.

18
Indoor Storage Space

• Storage space for performance areas such as
  drama, music, and arts.
• Storage space for athletic teams and student
  athletes on a daily basis.
• Access to equipment for all curricular areas.

• Current space is inadequate, potential practice
  and dressing rooms are full of stored materials.
• Students must store equipment in House Offices,
  advisory offices, or carry all day.
• Equipment is often unavailable due to inability
  to access quickly.

19
Outdoor Storage/Public Restrooms.

• Storage for outdoor teaching equipment, and
  athletic equipment.
• Public facilities for students, athletes, and
  spectators.

• Current storage facility is inadequate.
• Students, athletes, and spectators must enter
  building and find way to a rest room facility
  causing extra wear on already burdened areas.

20
This proposal will allow

• Increase participation
• Increase safety and decreased liability issues
• Community access
• Create adequate facilities for current Division I
  programs.
