Parents and staff propose capstone projects, babysitter course and student café to expand hands-on learning
Summary
During public comment staff and community members suggested a fall capstone construction course involving high-school tech-ed students, a $20 babysitter certification with the Clark County Health Department, and a student café to encourage phone-free interaction.
Multiple public commenters proposed expanded hands-on learning and student engagement options for next school year. A staff member suggested a capstone semester where high‑school tech‑ed students would help build a house — including hanging drywall, running electrical wiring and building interior walls — as a semester-long option running through mid‑January.
The same staff member proposed offering a babysitter course in the fall ("The course is $20.00 per student and the Clark County Health Department comes in and teaches this") and a student café serving cappuccinos and smoothies to create a social space where students could interact without phones. The board did not vote on these ideas at the meeting; they were offered for future consideration and planning.
