Summary
David Magnus of Cuyahoga Valley Career Center told the Revere Board about rising industry‑recognized credentials, recent enrollment gains and new program proposals, and described financial planning after state funding changes; Revere has 71 students enrolled at CVCC with a projected 78 next year.
David Magnus, superintendent of the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center, briefed the Revere Board on CVCC program performance, partnerships and planning. He framed CVCC as a supplement to Revere’s academic pathways, emphasizing hands‑on career programs and adult education offerings.
Magnus said CVCC has increased student attainment of industry‑recognized credentials since 2021 and highlighted metrics for certificate and licensure attainment, retention and work‑based learning. "We're an elective that students can sign up for when they're interested," Magnus said, adding that CVCC aims to support students who learn best with hands‑on instruction.
He reported that Revere currently has 71 students enrolled at CVCC and that projected enrollment for the next year is 78, noting that Revere is assigned 89 seats and was 11 students away from filling all seats this year. Magnus said program additions require student interest, business/industry advisory support and evidence of job availability; he described a newly launched parks and environmental resources program that filled the three seats assigned to Revere.
On finances, Magnus said CVCC reorganized operations and applied a five‑year cycle to strategic planning. He noted the district had reduced carryover concerns and described larger funding pressures, referencing recent state funding changes. "With House Bill 186, we lost about $1,550,000," he said, and described steps CVCC took to preserve program stability while continuing to invest in facilities and instructional equipment.
Board members asked about how programs are chosen and how CVCC partners with employers for customized adult training; Magnus outlined daytime customized training options for incumbent workers, partnerships with manufacturers that pay tuition for employee upskilling, and plans to renovate lab spaces to add future programs.
Magnus closed by thanking the board for past investments in facilities and equipment and invited questions from the board.
