Committee hears questions about MCTI and vocational students' schedules
Summary
Parents and board members asked how a schedule change would affect students who attend MCTI and other vocational experiences; administrators said they had modeled transportation solutions but warned major structural changes (redrawing attendance lines) would be complex and costly.
Several committee members and parents asked how a district‑wide schedule change would affect students who attend the Monroe County Technical Institute (MCTI). Administrators said they had researched transportation and schedule alignment options but cautioned that moving vocational programming onshore or changing boundary lines would be disruptive and expensive.
An administrator explained that previous solutions — such as busing students directly to MCTI and staggering start times — are already in place and that options to redraw attendance boundaries or build a comprehensive CTC would require multi‑million‑dollar investments and cross‑district coordination. "So we would not only be disrupting 0.5 of their education of MCTI... we'd be sending them back up to the North High School, which would then disrupt their entire schedule," the administrator said, citing logistical constraints.
