Summary

District staff reported a renewed outreach to Central State University to expand College Credit Plus access and a tentative April 11 on-site CSU preview day; administrators said about 30+ students have applied or expressed interest.

TROTWOOD, Ohio — School leaders told the board on Feb. 19 that they met with Dr. William Smith, Central State University’s executive director of admissions, to reestablish College Credit Plus (CCP) opportunities and plan a campus preview for students.

Administration said Dr. Smith expressed strong interest in reconnecting with the district and suggested an on-site "CSU preview day" tentatively scheduled for April 11, when representatives would bring college programs and information to the district cafeteria. The district hopes to use the event to give marginal and undecided students exposure to college options and to help them earn college credit.

District staff reported that roughly 30–31 students have applied to Central State through outreach efforts; administrators said they are finalizing logistics, including transportation and parental engagement. "Dr. Smith was extremely, extremely motivated to reconnect with Trotwood," an administrator told the board after the meeting with Central State.

Board members praised the partnership effort and asked staff to ensure follow-through on scheduling and student supports. The district said it will coordinate transportation (outside of students' free time) and promote the event to eligible juniors and seniors.
