District outlines new CTE offerings and a proposed girls tournament; theater participation rising
Summary
The committee heard updates on CTE expansions (patient-care technician and CNA programs), rising theater enrollment (about 70 high-school participants) and a proposal to run a girls 1A Knicks tournament Nov. 12–14 if logistics allow.
Members reported that the district is starting a patient-care technician (PCT) program—including phlebotomy and EKG training—and a certified nursing assistant (CNA) program that will give students vocational certificates. "PCT program is a patient care technician, that includes, phlebotomy and EKGs," a speaker noted as the committee discussed program details.
Separately, theater participation is growing: Mays and staff estimated roughly 40 students in the high-school advanced theater class, about 20 in secondary theater classes, and another 10 in theater design (for a high-school total near 70), with junior-high theater enrollment around 40. The committee also discussed seizing an opportunity to convert a fall Knicks tournament into a girls 1A tournament for Nov. 12–14; staff said logistics will determine feasibility.
