Udall teacher says nearly all high school students take CTE Pathways; district highlights program reach
Summary
Becka Leiblie told the Udall USD 463 board that 88 students took CTE courses in 2023-24 (about 90% of high school enrollment) and that this year 109 of 113 high school students are enrolled in pathway classes across FACS, AG and Business.
At the Oct. 21 Udall USD 463 board meeting, teacher Becka Leiblie presented the district's Finance, Business Management & Entrepreneurship career and technical education pathways, saying participation rates are high among Udall high school students.
Leiblie told the board that in 2023-24, 88 students took CTE Pathway courses (approximately 90% of high school enrollment). For the current year she reported pathway enrollment of 32 in Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS), 34 in Agriculture and 43 in Business for a total of 109 students out of 113 high school students, or about 96% participation. She described middle school "discovery" classes that introduce seventh- and eighth-grade students to pathway topics and noted the senior Applied Business Development capstone, a final class that gives students an opportunity to operate a student-run business and that can yield continuing-education scholarships depending on sales and profit. "This class is the shirt class that teaches customer service skills, production skills, and other vital business skills," the transcript records.
Board members discussed middle school exposure to pathways and asked about incentives and college/career tracking. Superintendent Heidi Perkins said the district tracks students through Post Secondary Success for five years after graduation. The board also discussed placing recognition of the district's KSDE Kansans Can STAR award in local media.
