Weldon board approves CTE plan after discussion on nontraditional enrollment and instructor availability
Summary
The board approved the district’s CTE plan after a presentation on last year’s CTE metrics and discussion of barriers to expanding non‑traditional programs, including the funding formula (months of employment) and community college instructor availability.
District curriculum staff presented last year’s CTE performance data and highlighted areas for improvement, including non‑traditional program enrollment and program-quality metrics. The presenter outlined action steps to boost participation in non‑traditional career pathways — for example, creating crosswalk materials for teachers, hosting career fairs, promoting role models and offering work‑based learning opportunities.
Trustees asked how the district could expand offerings given constraints on 'months of employment' that determine funding and course availability; staff explained that months are allocated based on student enrollment in certain grades and that increasing enrollment would increase the district’s allocation. Trustees also discussed partnering with local community colleges but noted those institutions must have instructors ready to teach specific technical courses. The board moved and approved the CTE plan.
