Board extends Early Middle CTE College partnership with MCC and MSU for a fifth year
Summary
The board approved a fifth year of the EMC‑CTE agreement enabling fifth‑year MHS students to earn credits through MCC and gain admission into MSU’s two‑year teaching program. Motion passed unanimously.
The Muskegon Public Schools board on March 18 approved a fifth year of the Early Middle CTE College (EMC‑CTE) partnership involving Muskegon Community College (MCC) and Michigan State University (MSU). The program allows fifth‑year Muskegon High School students to earn college credits through MCC and positions them for entrance into MSU’s two‑year teacher preparation pathway.
Why it matters: The extension supports a pathway for high school students to progress into teacher preparation and strengthens district‑college‑university alignment for educator pipelines.
Details: The board approved the five‑year extension by voice vote (motion moved by Morgan Witmer, supported by Billie Bruce; recorded as 7–0). The meeting minutes describe the agreement as an education program tract; no further contract text, credit‑hour details, or enrollment caps were included in the discussion recorded.
What was not included: The transcript did not list enrollment limits, credentialing details, the number of students impacted, or fiscal terms for the district, MCC or MSU.
Next steps: Implementation and student advising steps were not specified during the meeting; district staff and partner institutions would manage program administration going forward.
