Board seeks better metrics for Pathways workforce program as other districts take notice
Summary
Trustees asked staff for clearer participation and placement metrics for the district's Pathways interdistrict cooperative after one board member said Danbury highlighted East Lyme's program to other districts; members suggested simple surveys or student‑council liaisons to capture outcomes and placements.
Board members discussed the district's Pathways workforce program and said they want improved data on participation and post‑program placements. One trustee noted that Danbury presented its program and flagged East Lyme as an example, prompting calls for easily collected feedback and basic placement counts.
Trustees proposed low‑burden measures such as brief thumbs‑up/neutral/thumbs‑down surveys at program completion or using student‑council liaisons to interview participants about outcomes. The board asked staff to work with Jeff and Dave (named in the discussion) to craft feasible data collection that can be implemented quickly and used in future reporting.
