Students present Work Based Learning program to New Castle school board
Summary
At the April 13 meeting five students — Abraham Haler, Lyla Shue, Mason Miller, Carter Leduc and Elijah Blankenship — explained the district's Work Based Learning program and how partnerships with employers (including visits from IU Health and IU East) support student career experiences.
During its April 13 session, the New Castle Community School Board heard a spotlight presentation on the district's Work Based Learning program. Students Abraham Haler, Lyla Shue, Mason Miller, Carter Leduc and Elijah Blankenship described how the program places students with employers and how classroom instruction connects to workplace experiences.
Superintendent Matthew Shoemaker's slide report referenced recent partnerships and visits, including connections with IU Health and IU East, that support student placements and demonstrations. The minutes list the Work Based Learning spotlight under new business and identify the five student presenters by name, but do not include verbatim quotes or detailed placement statistics.
Why it matters: Work Based Learning gives students practical experience with employers and can influence postsecondary and career choices. The district's presentation signals continued emphasis on employer partnerships and hands-on learning opportunities.
The minutes do not include data on the number of placements, employer partners beyond the institutions named, or student outcomes. For more detail, the district's career and technical education office or the superintendent's office would hold program agreements and placement records.
