Leaders for the High School of Science and Technology (SciTech) told the Springfield School Committee they have expanded Chapter 74 vocational offerings — adding day programs, licensing new shops and continuing an “After Dark” two‑year model for juniors and seniors.
Shelby Zayas, SciTech’s vocational lead, said the school now operates three daytime Chapter 74 programs that will receive state funding and listed after‑school programs that already operate under Chapter 74. “Nine of the 11 shops that we offer are directly rooted in science and technology,” she said, describing new daytime programs such as business technology, early education and medical assisting and after‑dark additions like advanced manufacturing and cosmetology.
