Summary

School officials reported that 262 seniors — about 47% of the class of 2025 — and 92 juniors (approximately 16.5% of the class of 2026) are participating in cooperative education placements.

School administrators told the Greater Lowell Regional Vocational Technical School Committee that the cooperative education (co-op) program currently includes 262 senior students, representing 47% of the class of 2025, and 92 junior students, representing about 16.5% of the class of 2026.

The superintendent (or his designee) noted the packet’s previously distributed report indicated 262 seniors and 71 juniors but provided an updated in-meeting figure of 92 juniors, which the administration said represents 16.5% of the junior class. Administrators highlighted that many seniors are placed in industry cooperative positions as part of the district’s career and technical education programs.

The committee did not take a formal vote on the cooperative education participation report; the item was presented for information and was followed by other agenda items.

The meeting record lists a range of employer partners in cooperative placements elsewhere in the packet, but the portion of the public discussion provided did not enumerate employer names or the full distribution of placements by technical program.
