District awarded $404,000 Golden State Pathways grant for construction pathway
Summary
Staff reported the district received a $404,000 implementation grant from Golden State Pathways to fund a construction career pathway over three years, covering a coordinator's salary and materials at sites; the board approved the related action items.
District staff told trustees they were awarded $404,000 from the Golden State Pathways implementation grant to develop a construction career pathway. "What they granted us was $404,000 to be spent over the next 3 years," staff said during the grant report (SEG 2500–2512). Trustees discussed how the funds would be allocated; staff explained the grant will help cover salary costs for a pathway coordinator and include an estimated $20,000 per site for instructional materials.
The board moved and approved the implementation grant item. Trustees said the award will support pathway development, pay the coordinator's salary roughly and provide funds to purchase instructional materials at the sites identified in the application. The district will return with a plan for implementation and spending over the three-year grant period.
Why it matters: the grant brings targeted CTE funding to the district and is intended to expand career pathway opportunities and industry-aligned instruction for students.
What's next: staff will finalize budget allocations and program staffing and bring implementation details back to the board.
