Board explores expanding CTE programs and cooperating with neighboring districts
Summary
Members proposed expanding CTE (welding, mechanics) and forming cooperatives with nearby districts so students can access vocational training not currently offered locally; staff said cooperative arrangements have occurred in the past.
Board members urged the district to expand career and technical education (CTE) offerings so students not pursuing college have clear job pathways. One board member said, "I'd like to see our CTE courses expand... cooperate with other school districts." Past cooperatives were noted and the presenter said staff would look into potential partnerships, including sports cooperatives and shared CTE programs.
No formal agreements were authorized at the study session; the presenter said he would bring potential cooperative arrangements and options back to the board for consideration at a future meeting.
