Students and teachers highlighted: CTE showcase, teacher-of-the-year recognitions, and a $16,000 Cameron Foundation gift
Summary
The board recognized Teachers of the Year across multiple schools, accepted a $16,000 Cameron Foundation grant to reimburse licensure-related costs for provisionally licensed teachers, and heard a CTE program update with student testimonials on internships and certifications.
The meeting included multiple recognitions and a sustained presentation on career and technical education (CTE) programming.
Superintendent (speaker 10) and school leaders presented Teacher of the Year honors for a range of schools, naming Jennifer Bowen (Beasley Elementary), Lamani Lee (Harrison Elementary), Elizabeth Holcomb (Middle Road Elementary), Mrs. Rankin (North Elementary), Chantal (Chantelle) May (South Elementary), Coach Grissett (Prince George Education Center), Mr. Passagay (JEJ Moore Middle), Keeley Stonberg (MB Clements Junior High) and Kim Beals (Prince George High). Administrators read nomination excerpts recognizing classroom impact, mentorship and community service.
The Cameron Foundation (represented by Mr. Jerry Cuffey) was recognized for a $16,000 gift the foundation delivered in January. Administration said the grant will reimburse costs for provisionally licensed teachers’ course costs and licensure application fees.
CTE director (speaker 23) presented program metrics and activities: roughly 30 CTE teachers offering about 240–250 sections from grades 6–12, over 700 work-based learning placements, and strong DECA, FBLA and JRTC participation. The director described elementary CTE outreach (tech field day), new coding/robotics courses at the middle level, and high-school career-preparation opportunities (reverse career fair, interview day, internships).
Students who spoke described the program’s impact: Riley Humphries (speaker 26) described Nocatec certifications and DECA success (qualified to attend international competition); Owen Hunter (speaker 12) described DECA and a social-media internship; Aiden Silversmith (speaker 27) described an FAA Part 107 drone license and a process-engineering internship. Students asked for continued support and additional funding for CTE expansion.
The board and superintendent thanked students and teachers and noted the importance of CTE for workforce readiness and multiple post‑secondary pathways.
