Staff propose Future Educators Club at Minico with ISU partnership to 'grow our own' teachers
Summary
A Minico staff proposal would create a Future Educators Club as an FCCLA subsidiary, with two staff advisors and support from Idaho State University – Region 4, aiming to build a local pipeline into education.
Brooke Claridge proposed a Future Educators Club at Minico High School to operate as a subsidiary of the existing FCCLA chapter. In an email included in the board packet Claridge listed two committed advisors (Brooke Claridge and Britney Tracy) and an external partner, Idaho State University – Region 4, with consultant Kaywin Cottle to help guide the program.
The proposal frames the club as a "grow our own" approach intended to introduce high school students to careers in education through hands-on experiences, mentorship and professional development. The packet asked the board to consider the proposal at an upcoming meeting; the minutes record the proposal in the packet but do not reflect a formal vote. Packet language emphasized leadership opportunities for students and the district benefit of encouraging local students to pursue teacher careers.
