February is Michigan’s CTE Month—a time to recognize and celebrate the impact of Career and Technical Education across the state.
This month we would like to highlight what is going on in our schools to assist students with their mental health.
It’s back-to-school time for many children, but the educational journey of our youngest students can start right at home.A baby’s brain grows and changes dramatically during the first three years of life.
COOR Intermediate School District has designed the CTE millage to fix a problem.“Quite simply,” says COOR ISD Superintendent Shawn Petri, “our area, like many others in Michigan, is facing a shortage of workers who have the training and skills that employers want.“It’s a problem that is frustrating everyone, including students who are demanding more vocational programs, employers who can’t find qualified help, and people in our communities who can’t find skilled workers.”Petri believes there is one answer to this multi-dimensional problem: expand CTE (vocational) programming while cutting costs for families and school districts.
