Board approves Perkins local plan and 21st Century grant for CTAE programs
Summary
Administration presented CTAE grant materials noting strong CTAE outcomes; the board approved the Perkins local plan and a five-year 21st Century grant to fund career-technical and ag programs.
CTAE leadership presented the district's annual Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) grant package and asked the board to approve the Perkins local plan and the 21st Century five-year grant.
Mr. Middleton described the grants as resources to offset CTAE personnel costs and support agricultural programming. The board approved the Perkins local plan and then approved the 21st Century grant by voice vote.
Mr. Middleton also distributed a state report showing high concentrator graduation rates and said Burke County mirrors many statewide CTAE successes. Board members praised the program and asked staff to pursue greater recognition of Burke County students in statewide conference materials.
Next steps: Staff will implement grant-funded activities for FY26 and pursue opportunities to highlight student and alumni CTAE success.
