Department of Education approves Revere partnership with Northeast Regional for plumbing vocational track
Summary
The Department of Education approved a plumbing program partnership that will send 12 Revere sophomores daily to Northeast Regional for vocational instruction; students will earn a Revere diploma and a certificate from Northeast Regional, funded this year by a grant.
The committee announced approval from the Department of Education for a new plumbing vocational program offered in partnership with Northeast Regional, beginning in September. Revere will be the only approved community partner for the first year, and 12 sophomores will attend daily academic and vocational instruction at Northeast Regional, traveling by bus at midday.
Students will receive a Revere High School diploma and a certificate from Northeast Regional for vocational accomplishments. The superintendent and committee members credited Mr. Caggiano for leading efforts to build the curriculum and noted a grant will fund the program this year. Committee members said the program is a model for expanding trades and alternative pathways, and they expressed appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work bringing the curriculum and approvals together.
The committee did not record a formal vote on the announcement but praised staff for securing departmental approval and grant support. Officials said they will explore adding more curricula and serve more students in future years.
