Committee clears addendum with Northampton Community College for allied‑health and future‑educator pathways; grant funding will cover initial costs
Summary
The committee reviewed and, by consensus, authorized Dr. Vitale to finalize an addendum to the Northampton Community College dual‑enrollment agreement for allied‑health and future‑educator pathways. Staff said grant funds will cover current offerings and that class size limits apply when courses are taught on the NCC campus.
The committee reviewed an addendum to the district's dual‑enrollment agreement with Northampton Community College that would add an allied‑health pathway and a future‑educator pathway. Staff told the committee a current grant will cover costs for those pathways and that students would retain both dual‑enrollment and dual‑credit options depending on the course and delivery.
Committee members asked whether the grant covered tuition in both delivery models; staff said the grant applied in either dual‑enrollment or dual‑credit formats for courses where the grant applies. Members also asked about caps on participation; staff explained that on‑campus college‑taught sections are limited by class size while district‑taught sections are constrained by teacher availability.
Following discussion, committee members indicated no objection to allowing Dr. Vitale to sign the addendum and close the agreement with Northampton Community College so the pathways can begin under the grant terms. Staff said they will monitor enrollment caps and report implementation details as courses begin.
