Summary
Board members heard a presentation celebrating Career and Technical Education Month, with examples from PCTC and high schools including a 93% pass rate on a ServSafe exam and regional competition winners advancing to state conferences.
The Pittsylvania County School Board opened public presentations Feb. 10 with recognition of Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month and examples of student work from across the division.
Miss Brooks (presentation) highlighted hands-on learning and career pathways, noting that CTE connects classroom learning to industry standards and "empowers learners with certifications, internships, and the confidence to enter today's workforce or to continue their education." She listed examples including a culinary competition, a 93% pass rate on a ServSafe manager exam in one class at PCTC and regional DECA competition winners who will advance to the state leadership conference.
The board also recognized student representatives from the division and presented a character word for February ('self control') introduced by Ann Stallworth.
The recognition was ceremonial and did not require board action; members thanked presenters and praised CTE offerings and student accomplishments.
