Summary:
|
|
Mt. Diablo Unified School District has a growing number of schools interested in developing a PLTW pathway in Engineering, BioMedical or middle school exploration. MDUSD has had a PLTW agreement in place, but the addition of BioMedical as one of the pathways requires a new agreement be signed by MDUSD and PLTW. The Contra Costa Economic Partnership (CCEP) will be financially supporting the start up of a BioMedical PLTW at College Park High School utilizing SB70 funding being awarded to CCEP. The BioMedical program, unlike Engineering and middle school program, requires an annual Participation Fee of $2000. |
