Carl Sandburg College Board Of Trustees Regular Meeting
A key discussion item was the acceptance of an external grant award, specifically the FY26 Taking Back the Trades Grant from the Illinois Community College Board, totaling $169,415. This grant will support a summer CTE "bootcamp" aimed at introducing young adults to trades programs and careers, and will also be used to fund curriculum development, mapping, and outcomes assessment in select career and technical education programs. The administration recommended approval for the acceptance of this grant.
