Board authorizes application for CTE grade‑expansion grant to add personnel for grades 6–7
Summary
Trustees authorized staff to apply for a state Career and Technical Education (CTE) grade expansion grant due May 16 to add a second middle‑school career development coordinator to expand services for grades 6–7.
The board approved a staff request to submit an application for a CTE grade expansion grant (due May 16) that would extend CTE services to grades 6 and 7 and fund additional personnel. Presenter Miss Tolston said the district currently has one middle‑school career development coordinator who serves five schools; the grant would, if awarded, allow the district to add an additional coordinator to better serve middle‑grade students.
Miss Tolston said grant funds are restricted to specified CTE support activities and personnel aligned to the state program. Trustees unanimously approved staff’s request to apply for the grant; the vote authorized the district to pursue the competitive award but did not commit local matching funds beyond normal implementation requirements.
