Summary

Regular board meetings for the months of October, November and December were suspended and the board held open discussions (in a retreat type style) regarding future emphasis and goals for the CLBP.  After much discussion during these 3 meetings, it was recommended that the CLBP and its director, with support and direction from the board, would concentrate on opportunities and resources that support a connection between educators and employers in our community.  To that extent the following projects were agreed upon:

 

·        Continuation, improvement and expansion of the Summer Computer Workshop for Educators

·        Continuation and expansion of Career Fairs/Days

·        Establishment of an annual Groundhog Job Shadow Day in conjunction with Junior Achievement and using this to create future partners for the CLBP and JA.  Also, expand Job Shadow opportunities for all interested learners.

·        Establishment of an E-mentoring connection between local employers and middle schools of our community.

 

The board will review these recommendations and bring forward for approval at the January board meeting.

1. CLBP video is done.  Board members may take one if they like.

4. Statewide efforts for STW sustainability – looks optimistic.

5. Educators Resource Manual should be in all schools before the holiday break.

6. Middle School Career Fair booklet – all pages are done.  It is ready to be printed.  Bart is looking for a business to pay for the booklets.  Also, help from board members is needed at this career
