Trustees to hear CTE update

Ector County ISD trustees will hear an update on the district’s Career and Technical Education programs at their 6 p.m. Tuesday workshop in the first-floor board room of the administration building, 802 N. Sam Houston Ave.

The presentation will review programs and additions, graduation rates, numbers of dual credit, student success stories and the 8th Grade High School Program Fair set for Jan. 30 at Odessa College. It will also include an overview of what will go into the new career and technical education center financed by Proposition 1 of the ECISD bond issue.

Eighth-grade students will attend the event during the school day and parents and all other students may attend from 4-7 p.m.

Last year, more than 2,220 eighth-grade students attended the event.

The students had a chance to learn about the ECISD CTE Programs of Study; talk to high school students, teachers, and college faculty; and make more informed decisions about their four-year plans.

Policy updates also are on the agenda.
