Cte Advisory Committee Meeting Notes
Key discussions focused on updates to Career and Technical Education (CTE) initiatives for 2026. Topics included the implementation of a Makerspace at each elementary school alongside Project Based Learning across all subjects, with teachers receiving training. The Agriculture class is currently small but shows student interest, leading to plans for expansion. The Pathways programs are narrowing their focus to six specific areas, and a JROTC application has been submitted with significant student interest, currently leveraging a busing solution with Stafford Schools. The architecture for the Technical Center is being revised for new branding. A new three-month, 12th-grade only EMT class beginning in March was detailed, which will allow students to become certified, replacing a previous evening format that posed logistical issues. Committee members provided updates on various programs, including the CNA program's enrollment flexibility, Family Consumer Science curriculum development, and the availability of classes like cybersecurity and multimedia that offer industry certifications. The committee is addressing the challenge of keyboarding instruction by incorporating it into middle school technology classes. Ideas discussed included a CTE Summer Program Pilot and a 3-week Orientation to cover safety lessons. The committee is also preparing for the rollout of CTE Virtual Reality equipment (100 sets) and transitioning to a new college readiness platform, with early stages of a Project Search program for special education students noted.
