Board approves Century 9 Career Center operating agreement update
Summary
Center Grove trustees voted to approve an updated operating agreement for the Century 9 Career Center that formalizes how students from nonparticipating districts are attached to participating schools; board members said capacity and superintendent input drove the change.
The Center Grove Community School Corporation Board of Trustees approved an update to the Century 9 Career Center operating agreement formalizing how students from nonparticipating districts will be attached to participating schools.
Dr. Taylor presented the update, explaining the change formalizes a practice already used this school year: students from nonparticipating districts will be attached to a participating school, and participating districts keep priority for available seats. Dr. Taylor said two drivers prompted the change: input from superintendents and full capacity in several C9 programs.
Under the updated agreement, participating districts receive first priority on seats, with a second round of allocations to other participating schools; it is only in third-round allocations that nonparticipating-school students were previously considered. The revision formalizes attaching those students to a participating school earlier in the process. Dr. Taylor and trustees discussed transfer implications: a student from a nonparticipating district would need to transfer into a participating school to be eligible under the new arrangement.
Board member Mr. Alexander moved to approve the operating agreement as presented; the motion was seconded and the board voted 5-0 in favor.
