Citizen Knowlege of Six Million annual tax support of College beginning to make College respond to Sedona
First, you have to beccome aware that your taxing district is paying over $6 million a year to support Yavapai Community College. Then, it pays to be vocal about being totally ignored. (Recall the Wills’ Administration was on the way closing down the Sedona Center until citizens and the Mayor and Sedona Council expressed outrage at the idea.) Finally, if you are persistent and loud, as evidenced by the renewed attention the Wills’ Administration is giving Sedona, you will start getting a little of that money back.
For example, the Administration claims it will invest more than $2 million to renovate the Sedona Center in the next year and consider putting in a culinary institute. It has also announced it will send three entertainment programs during the academic year 2016-17 to Sedona. Those programs were once provided only to Prescott citizens on the Prescott Campus. Here are the three programs:
Windam Hill: Winter Solstice Concert, November 20, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. to be held at the Sedona Red Rock High School. Admission is $40 per person.
Golden Dragon Acrobats, March 4, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. to be held at the Sedona Red Rock High School. Admission is $40 per person.
Ballet West II, April 29, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. to be held at the Sedona Red Rock High School. Admission is $40 per person.
Two other programs will be offered in Camp Verde. For more information about tickets, you may click here.
