Garner ISD expands high‑school course offerings, adds CTE and dual‑credit options
Summary
Trustees approved adding Making Connections 1 & 2 (Special Education CTE), Practicum of Nursing, Social Studies Advanced Studies 1 & 2 (one‑semester dual credit), Practicum in Culinary Arts 2, and Environmental Systems to the high‑school catalog for 2024–25.
The Garner Independent School District Board of Trustees voted Aug. 29 to expand the district's high‑school course offerings for the 2024–25 academic year. The approved additions include Making Connections 1 & 2 (Special Education CTE), Practicum of Nursing, Social Studies Advanced Studies 1 and 2 (both listed as one‑semester dual‑credit courses), Practicum in Culinary Arts 2, and Environmental Systems.
Trustee Clay Youngblood moved to add the courses presented to the high school course offerings list; Trustee John Bradberry seconded the motion. The motion passed with five yea votes, zero nays and two trustees absent. The transcript lists the course names as presented on the agenda but does not include course descriptions, credit hours or the partnering dual‑credit institution for the Social Studies Advanced Studies courses; those details were not specified in the meeting excerpt.
Adding Career and Technical Education courses and dual‑credit options typically requires teacher assignments, scheduling and articulation agreements with partner colleges when dual credit is offered; those administrative steps follow board approval and are not detailed in the transcript.
