Board unanimously approves FFA chapter for district horticulture/CTE program
Summary
Trustees approved establishing an FFA chapter tied to the district's horticulture CTE program, citing student interest, community partnerships and fundraising success; the measure passed by unanimous voice vote.
The Port Orford-Langlois SD 2CJ board unanimously approved a motion to establish a Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter that will be integrated with the district's horticulture and CTE programming.
A presenter (Speaker 1) described program elements, student leadership and community support, saying the district currently has 32 high-school students enrolled in horticulture and 28 middle-school students engaged in related classes. "We are largely funded through grants outside of the school," the presenter said, noting the program held plant sales and raised roughly $500 last year.
The board discussed certification requirements and community partnerships; a motion to approve the FFA charter was seconded and adopted by unanimous voice vote. Chair (Speaker 4) called the vote and announced the motion carried.
What's next: the presenter will finalize the charter paperwork and proceed with implementation under supervision of the CTE and horticulture staff.
