We decided to name our school Pacific High School Pathfinders Vocational Academy.

We decided to have the school located at Pacific High School in the portables.

We would focus on 11th and 12th grade students; both special education and regular education.  We also included training for adults needing vocational skills. 

The schedule for the high school students would be:

  7:30 – 11:30 core subjects

12:00  - 4:00   vocational training

Adult students would attend the school from 5:00 – 9:00

We would try to service between 200 and 300 students.

 

Rob stated he had info from schools in New York and brought some suggestions for class types.  He also would like to develop the web pages.

Susan stated she would be interested in doing the budget.

Diane stated she would be the recorder; write the mission statement, philosophy statement.

Tracy stated he would be interested in biography of staff and community partners.

 

Some suggestions of training were construction, electrical, plumbing, computers, culinary, secretarial/business.  We decided to wait until the next meeting for the final

decision.
