Summary

Board members discussed renewing a partnership that allows students who attend Job Corps to receive a Dover diploma and ensures the district can count them as graduates. Speakers said there is no cost to the district and staff recommended bringing the renewal to the Jan. 20 voting meeting.

The Dover Area School District board discussed renewing its Adams and Associates/Job Corps partnership, an agreement district staff said prevents students who go to Job Corps from being recorded as dropouts and allows the district to count those students as graduates.

Speaker 6 explained the practical effect: "When we have this agreement, this allows them to get a diploma from Dover and from Job Corps and allows us to go back in and give our graduation rate the credit for the graduate." Board members clarified that Job Corps issues career and technical training completion separately and that students who participate receive a regular full diploma from the district.

Speakers said the program entails no cost to the district. The board treated the item as a renewal of an existing agreement and set it for formal action at the Jan. 20 voting meeting.
