Board hears more on AgSTEP; district staff say program will be low-impact to daily operations
Summary
The board received additional information on AgSTEP May 21, with staff and supporters saying the program would likely run after school hours and have minimal day-to-day impact; CUHSD incoming superintendent John Miller expressed support after viewing simulators.
Board members heard details about the AgSTEP program and potential student opportunities. Patricia Esparza answered board questions and assured members "there would be minimal impact on the day to day," with program activities planned mostly after school; when activities occur during school hours, "Mitch Barker would be overseeing and coordinating schedules." CUHSD incoming superintendent John Miller said he had viewed simulators at Merced and supported the opportunity for hands-on exposure.
Board members discussed logistics and oversight; the district will return with implementation details and any scheduling adjustments required. The board listed AgSTEP as a future agenda item for formal approval at a subsequent meeting.
