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.

Funding:
|
Contra Costa Economic Partnership, SB70, Perkins

|
Fiscal Impact
:

The annual Participation Fee of $2000, teacher training estimated at approximately $2000 each of three years. For the 2011-2012 year, these costs can be covered by CCEP’s SB70 grant and MDUSD’s SB70 grant. In subsequent years, CPHS could use Perkins funding and SB70 funding may also be available.
