SITE Council

Once a month a group called SITE Council meets in the library to discuss issues concerning Free State.  This past monday the group discussed three issues, Career-Tech Ed (CIE) programs, Achievement Gap (Courageous Conversations) and The board goal/ schedule update/ and the budget Implications update.

To discuss the CIE programs Patrick Kelly showed a power point addressing the career tech programs implicated in the junior high and high schools. He points out the areas in the CIE programs where they are going to revise and the new programs he hopes to add to CIE. One of the programs he hopes to take off is offering a summer  program with the boys and girls club for 8th graders to explore jobs, and to do a intership. He stressed that CIE programs is good for all students. With part-taking in CIE programs you learn how to how a proper attitude towards work, good work habits, personal motivation and problem sovling.  And also you can potentially get college credits at JCCC for completing certain classes at Free State.

Craig Butler came to SITE council and began to discuss to the group a new program at Free State called Courageous Conversations. Courageous Conversations is geared toward young Black males in the school district. Traditionally black males test the lowest in the district, and in the state.
