This meeting is a meeting of the Governing Board in public for the purpose of conducting the Career Center's business and is not to be considered a public community meeting. There will be time for public participation as indicated by a specified agenda item.
Mission Statement: Central Nine exists to engage and empower students by providing career-based instruction in an innovative learning environment. We make an IMPACT on our students' personal and professional SKILLS, which enables them to succeed in post-secondary and career opportunities.
-eLearning has been going very well. We finish the semester tomorrow, May 15th. Teachers and students have become very adept at using Canvas as their learning management system. With the support of Mike Quaranta and Eddie Small, the teachers have taken the situation and made it work well for the students to complete the semester and also earn certifications and college credits.
-We plan on allowing staff to come on campus this next week to complete the process of getting their rooms and labs ready for summer. We will have a sign-up sheet (virtual) to continue social distancing. We will also have a plan for allowing students to return items as well as pick up any of their property from school soon.
-We are still in the process of getting a final date for the closing of the construction trades house. I will share as soon as we know.
-Due to our current state with COVID-19 our addition of aviation flight will have to be delayed one year to start fall of 2021.
-Our next board meeting was moved to June 4th due to the PLC conference eight of us were attending. That conference has been moved to October. I will plan on keeping the June 4th date unless the board wishes to move the date back to the original.
-Discussed the possible changes to the start of the school year for fall. Many of the Johnson County superintendents were a part of a discussion with two legislators (Representative Young and Senator Walker) today. I hope to get that information from them.
-Discussed plans to allow employees back in buildings to work. Discussed plans for allowing staff and students in the buildings to finish the year.
