Administrators report rising enrollment, Wi-Fi problems and plans to expand CTE offerings
Summary
Miss Johnson reported enrollment growth at small sites and ongoing Wi‑Fi problems; high school principal Jesse said CTE course reductions lowered certain readiness scores and described steps to restore agricultural and technical clusters through partnerships.
Miss Johnson told the board projected enrollment at the small site will rise to about 12 students next year with three incoming kindergartners and noted the district gained fractional FTEs ("0.125 grader"). She said staff had been short-handed because of recent illnesses and that students' Chromebooks and teachers' access suffer from unreliable internet: "It's a lot of wasted time" when connection drops. Johnson said she and central office will continue to pursue fixes with the vendor and explore fiber hookup.
High school principal Jesse (who introduced himself as "the high school principal and special education director") updated trustees on special education evaluations and attendance work and explained why Career and Technical Education (CTE) indicators are low: the district's CTE clusters decreased when offerings (ag and manufacturing clusters) were moved or removed. Jesse said the district is working with SDSU and the regional community college to restore ag and other clusters so students can take CTE classes at the high school level.
