Summary

Superintendent Dr. Stubblefield announced an anonymous-donor-funded drone program to expand CTE drone access across all high schools and a new monthly district podcast, 'KCKPS Spotlight,' launching later this week.

Superintendent Dr. Stubblefield used his announcements to share two district initiatives. He said an anonymous donor funded a new drone program that provides unmanned aerial vehicles to career and technical education programs at each high school to broaden student exposure to drone technology and related career pathways.

Stubblefield also announced a new district podcast, "KCKPS Spotlight," that will publish a monthly episode and be available on major platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts. "Students in the career and technical education program at each high school were provided with unmanned aerial vehicles," Stubblefield said, describing the donor-supported expansion. Board members asked whether drone repair and maintenance could be incorporated into CTE offerings; Stubblefield said he would follow up with the diploma-plus and CTE teams.
