Superintendent highlights CTE pathways, life skills and a potential $200,000 pro bono construction contribution
Summary
Superintendent/Principal Emily Pendell outlined district priorities — safety, communication, culture, attendance and success — and said a construction company has offered pro bono work that could save the district about $200,000 and unlock facilities grant funding. She also described CTE offerings including two in‑person pathways and 34 career pathways.
Superintendent/Principal Emily Pendell presented an overview of the district’s accomplishments and priorities, aligning them with a Multi‑Tiered System of Supports. She said last year focused on safety and communication and that this year the district will build on that work to foster positive school culture and reduce chronic absenteeism, leading toward student success in college, career and life.
Pendell discussed career and technical education and life‑skills instruction. "They are also working on teaching life skills, such as working with others, appropriate communication, home ec, budgeting, citizenship, critical thinking, to help students become successful adults," the minutes record. She noted the district has two in‑person CTE pathways and 34 career pathways overall, with community volunteers providing hands‑on experiences.
Pendell also reported that, "there is a construction company offering to provide the district with pro bono work (saving the district approximately $200,000) so we can access facilities grant funding." The board did not record contract terms; the minutes indicate the offer came through conference connections and could help the district pursue facilities grants.
