Met with the superintendents last week and shared the C9 24-25 data on retention, attendance, dual credit, certifications, etc.  They got to see overall data and specific high school data.  We had a great discussion and generated ideas for data to capture in the future.

We plan on offering Smart manufacturing for the 2026-2027 school year.  we already have the equipment we purchased with a Perkins reserve grant a couple of years ago.  We can hire an instructor by paying that person with Perkins funds for the first three years.  Year one is full compensation, year two is half, etc.  We also have an advisory board that includes people from Endress+Hauser, former board member Mike Metzger, and a retired Smart manufacturing teacher.
