Summary
The board voted to join the Turtle Mountain Area Career and Technology Center, which a presenter said will raise district reimbursement from 27% to about 40% and allow shared courses and resources among county schools; motion was moved by Terry and seconded by Dave.
The board approved the district's participation in the Turtle Mountain Area Career and Technology Center, a countywide career and technical education (CTE) model that staff said will increase the district's reimbursement rate and allow resource sharing across local schools.
A staff presenter said joining the center will raise the district's CTE reimbursement rate from 27% to 40%, bringing additional funding into the district and nearby county schools. “It will raise our reimbursement rates from 27% to, 40%,” the presenter said, adding that five county schools have agreed to be part of the center and that the model will let schools share courses and resources.
The transcript records a motion to approve the center participation moved by Terry and seconded by Dave. The board conducted a roll call after limited discussion and approved the motion.
Staff framed the change as a long‑needed regional solution to expand offerings; the presenter noted a previous capital project application for a center had been turned down and emphasized the current collaborative approach among county schools.
