Springfield Clark CTC honored; state to co-fund larger facility that will add about 1,009 students a year
Summary
Superintendent Michelle Patrick told Clark County commissioners the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission will co-fund the full 227,000-square-foot Springfield Clark CTC project, expanding capacity by about 1,009 students per year to about 2,018. Commissioners presented a proclamation recognizing Career Technical Education Month.
Michelle Patrick, superintendent of the Springfield Clark Career Technology Center, told the Clark County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 11 that the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission will co-fund the center’s larger new building, increasing the approved footprint from 178,000 square feet to 227,000 square feet.
Patrick said the expansion will allow “an additional 1,009 students per year for a total of 2,018,” and noted the district earned a five-out-of-five-star rating for the second consecutive year. She introduced students from Northwestern, Tecumseh, Springfield and Greenon high schools, who summarized their experiences and future plans after graduating from CTC programs.
Commissioner Sasha L. Rittenhouse presented a proclamation recognizing Career Technical Education Month and thanked the students and staff for their presentations. Commissioner Charles A. Patterson asked for specifics about capacity; Patrick provided the 1,009 figure. Commissioner Richard L. Lohnes highlighted packet data the board had received showing estimated student earnings tied to district attendance.
The proclamation and remarks were part of the commissioners’ regular session agenda. No formal vote was required to present the proclamation; the board left open opportunities for future presentation or recording of the event.
Looking ahead, local officials and school leaders will continue planning for the project; Patrick said the Facilities Construction Commission’s co-funding acceptance represents a key step in enabling the expanded facility and increased enrollment.
