The board approved a memorandum of understanding with the nonprofit Livelihood Knowledge Exchange Network (LIKEN) to pilot a maple‑syrup project connected to the Career Technical Center's tourism program. Dr. Inge Barker explained the staged approach: LIKEN will begin with education about tapping and tree selection, supply initial equipment (taps and boiling equipment) and work with the CTC tourism program to develop a business learning component for students.
Barker said the project is an early, hands‑on step that can expand into ProStart and other CTC pathways; she said equipment and training will be provided and noted that full production (bottled syrup) is not expected in the first year. Board members voiced general support and offered to help with student engagement activities.
