CBISD presentation: Damon students could access free dual‑credit and CTE programs
Summary
Columbia‑Brazoria ISD leaders described dual‑credit courses free to Damon students, opportunities to earn an associate degree by high‑school graduation, and Career and Technical Education programs offering industry certifications and facilities such as a commercial culinary kitchen.
Board members heard a CBISD presentation highlighting pathways available to Damon students if the districts come to an agreement.
Steven Galloway of Columbia‑Brazoria ISD and Damon Superintendent David Hayward outlined that dual‑credit courses would be offered at no charge to families and that schedules include study hall time for online college coursework during the school day. CBISD materials described a state‑of‑the‑art commercial kitchen for culinary instruction, a floral design classroom with refrigeration, multiple computer labs and health‑science classrooms. The district said students could finish with an associate degree by graduation, which the presentation framed as allowing students to begin college work on their major earlier or enter the workforce sooner.
Board members asked about logistics and transportation; those operational details were left for staff-level negotiations and the proposed MOU.
