County cadet program policy under review after move to tech center; board raises access questions for nonpublic students
Summary
Board members asked to gather information from the school board about whether private- and home-schooled students can enroll in the county cadet program after a policy change tied to the program's move back to the tech center.
Board members on April 9 opened discussion of a cadet program policy that changed when the program moved from Hollywood back to the tech center. The concern: a recent policy change appears to bar nonpublic-school students from enrolling.
A board member said the intention when the program moved was to prevent outside adult students from taking classes on campus. However, the speaker said the policy language may have been altered in a way that also prevents private-school and home-school students from enrolling. The member requested more information and conversations with the school board to determine the official position and whether private- or home-schooled students can be accommodated.
No action was taken at the April 9 meeting; the item was placed on the board's future discussion list so staff can seek clarification from the school system.
