Summary:
|
Staff requests permission to submit a Clean Technology and Renewable Energy California Partnership Academy (CPA) Planning and Implementation grant to the California Department of Education for continued funding for the Construction Manufacturing and Engineering Academy (ACME), and new funding to develop the Engineering and Design Academy at Northgate High School. These two academies would serve 9th-12th grade students and would ensure that every MDUSD high school would have a funded California Partnership Academy. The CPA model is a three-year program (grades ten-twelve) structured as a school-within-a-school. The current grant application will serve 9-12th grade students. Academies incorporate integrated academic and career technical education, business partnerships, mentoring, and internships. The primary career focus area relate to Engineering as outlined in the California Career and Technical Education Model Curriculum Standards Grades Seven through Twelve.
The CPA grant will support MDHS and NGHS in the expansion of smaller learning community structures and instructional strategies that address core academics, learner engagement, career relevancy and personal skill development. This grant is aligned and supports the district’s Career Integrated Academics policy to assist students to be college and work ready when they graduate from high school. The grant provides funding for personnel to coordinate, develop and implement the program, professional development, consultation and planning for teachers, as well as program supplies and materials. If funded, the grant will provide $15,000 for planning in 2011-12 and $45,000 for implementation in 2012-13. This is a combined total of $60,000 over two years (2011-13) for each school and $120,000 across the district. Funding increases each year as grade levels are added. Total grant across the two schools would be $160,000 for 2013-14, $240,000 for 2014-15 and $300,000 for 2014-15.
