Dr. Kovach, Director

September 24th, 1:00 pm, at Central Nine, we are hosting our annual advisory board banquet for all CTE programs.

By the October board meeting we should be set up to stream and record the future C9 school board meetings to meet the new requirements.  We have been using a laptop in the corner of our board room so far.  

After much work it was decided to stay with a two session day for the 2026-2027 school year.  Much discussion has taken place since this decision, and I believe we will develop other ideas to increase enrollment and support the students at each of our high schools as everyone looks to expand CTE offerings.
