State changes lead Derby to revise CTE offerings; apparel classes may be removed
Summary
District staff said state rule changes remove apparel/textile courses from the Family, Community and Consumer Services pathway; the board was told the district plans to add a Leadership Service and Action course and will consider options to continue sewing/apparel as electives or clubs.
District staff told the board the state has revised career‑technical education requirements for the Family, Community and Consumer Services pathway, removing apparel and textile production courses and related classes.
Katie Toole and Dr. Holly Putnam Jackson explained the pathway changes and said the district has proposed adding a new Leadership Service and Action course to preserve a pathway credit while aligning with state guidance. "They have replaced some of those courses with things that their regional, pathway analysis for that industry says are more pertinent and more marketable skills for students to know," Toole said.
Board members asked about continuing apparel/sewing as electives and requested cost estimates to offer those courses outside the state's reimbursed CTE pathway. Staff said they will return with numbers and a pacing guide if the board approves course adoption for fall implementation. Separately, the board heard a proposal to pilot Practical Law 2 in the Corrections, Security, and Law pathway to expand law‑related course options.
