OTEC trustee report: national skills awards, strategic plan and limited capital funding
Summary
Board member Bridal reported Ogden Weber Technical College had national SkillsUSA winners in cosmetology and barbering, a 16th-place welding team and approved its fiscal-year 2026 strategic plan and a limited capital projects list for FY27.
Board member Bridal, the district’s OTEC trustee representative, reported on the most recent OTEC board meeting. Bridal said OTEC students won awards at SkillsUSA: a gold in cosmetology (Holden Matthews), a bronze in barbering (Elizabeth Canales) and a 16th-place finish nationally for a welding team.
Bridal said OTEC approved its fiscal year 2026 strategic objectives and a capital projects list for fiscal year 2027; she noted funding for capital needs is limited relative to needs. The board also recognized Emily Goddard, the high school liaison for OTEC, with a president’s community award.
Why it matters: The OTEC report highlights regional CTE student performance at national competitions, ongoing strategic planning and tight capital funding priorities at the technical college.
