Killingly High School outlines Career Pathways program to Sterling Board
Summary
Killingly Public Schools officials presented Killingly High School's Career Pathways program (Agricultural Education; Arts & Communication; Construction & Industrial Design; Education; Government & Public Administration; Information Technology; Business & Finance; CNA) and noted possible future phlebotomy training, while also describing athletics, clubs, academics and student safety.
Dr. Susan Nash-Ditzel, superintendent of Killingly Public Schools, accompanied by Assistant Principal Michael Lafevre and Career Center Coordinator Chad Neal, presented to the Sterling Board of Education on Dec. 18 about opportunities available at Killingly High School, including its Career Pathways program.
The presentation outlined the program's pathways — Agricultural Education; Arts & Communication; Construction & Industrial Design; Education; Government & Public Administration; Information Technology; Business & Finance; and CNA — and said Killingly is exploring adding a phlebotomy course. Presenters also described extracurricular offerings such as sports and clubs, and discussed academics and student-safety measures.
Why it matters: The pathways are designed to give Sterling-area students potential career and technical education options and to inform local families and the board about cross-district opportunities.
The presentation was scheduled to appear before the consent agenda and was introduced early in the meeting after a procedural agenda change. No immediate board action or formal vote on program partnerships or course additions was recorded during this meeting.
Next steps: The presentation provided information to the board; any follow-up steps, partnerships or curricular changes would require additional board discussion or formal agreement between districts.
