We received a great question about CTE programs at JISD. In addition to Agriculture courses, JISD offers Family & Consumer Science, Floral Design, Education & Training, Welding, Health Science with IBC (Industry Based Certification) beginning next year and Health Science with a CCMA (Certified Clinical Medical Assistant) course completing their program. If the bond passes, we do hope to incorporate more programs. Culinary Arts and Meat Science has been discussed if we can provide an appropriate lab.
Student interest has to be considered with any new implementation. That will guide us in designing the proposed CTE building.
