The superintendent announced expansion of career and technical education programs, including a new EMT program capped at 40 students with 30 enrolled already, construction trades renovations, barbering additions and a culinary course for students with disabilities.
Superintendent Dr. Loper told the board the district will expand career and technical education offerings next year, including a new Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) program, construction trades renovations and additions to cosmetology and barbering.
