TO: | School Board Members |
FROM: | Jeff Eakins, Superintendent |
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS | |
Approve Activities Calendar for Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) - 2016/2017 | |
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
The CTSO calendar is presented to the School Board each year. The attached calendar includes activities from the director of each CTSO, district career and technical education staff, and the Florida Department of Education. This document identifies activities from September 7, 2016 through January 29, 2017.
CTSO are co-curricular and are integral to the career and technical education curriculum. Involvement in the CTSO activities and competitive events reinforces academic and occupational knowledge, strengthens leadership skills, provides career networking, and improves personal presentation skills. CTSO membership rewards practical and academic learning. The business/industry community views our career and technical education programs as a significant source of well-prepared employees and college-ready students. Approval of this calendar allows students to participate in CTSO activities both in-county and out-of-county. |
