Board reviews contract proposal to support new construction teachers
Summary
District staff presented a contract with FAB Rebuilding Construction Training to provide professional learning and certifications for new construction-program teachers at West Nassau and Fernandina Beach High schools; no final vote recorded.
The board reviewed an agenda item proposing a contract with FAB Rebuilding Construction Training to provide professional learning for newly hired construction teachers at West Nassau and Fernandina Beach High schools.
Staff said two new teachers were hired this year for construction-related programs; one had no previous experience in the field and the contract is intended to provide on-site support and certifications needed to teach the program. Staff described the work as ‘‘professional learning for the new teacher’’ and said the contractor would work alongside existing staff and provide the certifications required for the position.
Board members asked clarifying questions and there were no recorded objections during the workshop portion of the meeting. Staff did not record a formal approval vote in the transcript for this item; staff indicated the item would remain on the agenda for board action at an upcoming meeting if required.
No dollar amount or contract length was specified on the record during the workshop discussion; staff indicated additional contract details were available in the agenda packet.
