Board approves district 'Profile of a Graduate' to support grants and CTE work
Summary
The board accepted a district 'profile of a graduate,' which staff said is required for certain New Mexico PED competitive grants and will be used in grant applications to support career and technical education and other programs.
The Gadsden Independent School District board voted to accept a Profile of a Graduate document intended to describe desired graduate competencies and support future grant applications.
District staff said the New Mexico Public Education Department has encouraged districts to adopt graduate profiles as part of eligibility for some grants, including innovative CTE grants. Staff reported positive feedback from principals and said the document will be promoted at community events and superintendent forums.
Board members asked how the district will publicize the profile and integrate it into classroom or community programming. Staff responded that the profile will be shared with principals, at coffee with the superintendent and at community events, and that the district expects it to evolve with input from stakeholders.
The board approved the profile without amendment so the district can begin using it in grant applications and outreach.
