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.
February 18th Cindy Payton and I will meet with Jane Herndon, Baker/Tilley, and our architect to start determining scope of project, potential timeline, cost, and cost per school district. This will lead into a larger meeting with representatives from each district.
February 25th I will present to the Franklin Community Schools school board during their retreat to answer questions about the potential C9 building project.
Wednesday I went to the house education committee's hearing on HB 1397 and spoke about certain parts to the bill that could be financially detrimental to CTE in Indiana (represented 9 and IACTED).
We will be interviewing for a new technology coordinator over the next week and hope to recommend a candidate soon.
We are monitoring the COVID trends and communicating with all schools to determine a potential re-open date for all students. March 1st is a target date if things keep trending as they have been.
As a result of the NLPS implementation and questions for C9 and all districts, Mike Quaranta and I are setting up multiple meetings with the curriculum leaders for each district to work through best options for the students who choose CTE courses both at their home high school and at C9.
We discussed COVD decisions from the IDOH and what we will do in reaction to these.
If C9 does return to 100% in-person learning on March 1st, the schools are prepared to continue to provide transportation daily.
