Approve Career Pathways Articulation Agreement with Central Florida Institute for Secondary Programs, Dental Laboratory Assisting, Firefighting/Emergency Medical Technician, First Responder, Medical Laboratory Assisting, Nursing Assisting, Occupational Therapy Assisting, Pharmacy Assisting, Physical Therapy Assisting, Radiology Assisting, and Vision Care Assisting. (Career and Technical Education)

We request approval of a new Health Sciences articulation agreement with Central Florida Institute that will provide high school students the opportunity to receive college credit for a completed Career Pathways Program of Study. For the past sixteen years, the School District has worked collaboratively with numerous postsecondary institutions in implementing Career Pathways Programs of Study. One major component of Programs of Study has been the establishment of articulation agreements allowing district secondary students the opportunity to enter degree-seeking programs at an advanced status. This articulation agreement allows students to earn seven (7) to nine (9) credits that apply to all the Health Sciences programs offered at Central Florida Institute. Additional credits, from five (5) to twenty-five (25), may be awarded to students who complete Advanced Placement coursework at the secondary level in biology, English Language and Composition, physics, psychology, and/or chemistry.

All District Goals and Critical Success Factors.

All District Career Pathways programs are FTE-earning and are included in the general operating budget.
