District presents early-college sunset, CCMR gains and student-services supports
Summary
Administration reported the Early College High School was sunset as the district transitions to an academy model; CCMR metrics showed increases in industry-based certifications and dual-credit participation, and the student services director reviewed counseling, nursing and mental-health programs funded in part by federal grants.
Laura Helm, the academy coordinator, told trustees the Early College High School model has been sunset in favor of an academy model designed to deliver more pathway-specific dual-credit opportunities. She said some students earned associate degrees but that credits sometimes did not map to degree pathways at next institutions, a reason for the transition.
Helm reviewed college, career and military readiness (CCMR) indicators and noted increases in industry-based certifications (209 reported) and dual-credit participation (37% of seniors with nine or more dual-credit hours in the last reported year). Separately, Robin White, director of student services, summarized federal-program spending focused on economically disadvantaged and at-risk students, described a three-tier counseling approach and cited grant support (including a Stronger Connections grant) for counseling and mental-health services. Trustees asked questions and thanked staff for the early data and program descriptions.
