District CTE report shows enrollment gains and new hands‑on courses
Summary
District staff reported growth in Career Technical Education enrollment across high schools and new CTE course offerings and partnerships, including film cinematography, music production, and an intro to health‑care pathway supported by Marin County Office of Education.
Daniel Mickelott, presenting the district's Career Technical Education update, outlined new courses and partnerships and shared enrollment figures showing increases in CTE participation. "So what you see there at Novato High School, we currently have 573 students in CTE program," Mickelott said, noting growth at San Marin (from 526 to 578 CTE students) and increases in ninth‑grade participation that staff attribute in part to outreach programs.
Mickelott described new offerings—film cinematography, music production, and an "intro to health care" at San Marin—plus middle‑school exposure via hands‑on modules (Paxton Patterson) and a donated drone program. He emphasized credentialing efforts for CTE teachers to expand course availability and said partnerships with Marin County Office of Education and local employers will support career fairs and future class expansions.
