Career Technical Takes Center
Stage
A recent article in The Press-Enterprise outlined the district’s plan for
revitalizing career/technical training in all of our high schools. Tracie
Zerpoli, Director of Career Technical Education made a presentation to the Board
which outlines the goals of this program and the individual plans for each of
our high schools. In her presentation, Ms. Zerpoli told the Board that:
The
district offers 70 programs in
career/technical fields.
ROP
offers 35, for a total of 105
programs.
These programs serve 6000
students.
Over 100 local employers are
partnering with FUSD to provide
hands-on experience for our
students.
All six of our existing high schools and even our newest high school, Jurupa
Hills HS, are working on plans to expand the offerings in CTE and make existing
programs an even stronger link between high school and the world of work. This
is the realization of an important priority established by the Board of
Education in the fall of 2006
