Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Cochise Community Foundation grant for education alternatives in the amount of $8,700.
Background:
In conjunction with the JDAI initiatives undertaken by the Juvenile Court System, we would like to serve youth who are 1. recent Juvenile Detention participants, 2. transitioning back to schools or obtaining GED’s, 3. truant or probationary, 4. attending charter schools or 5. home schoolers.
The Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes provided at the high schools use the AZCIS for career assessment. This internet resource could be made available at the Learn Labs operated by the Juvenile Detention Centers in Douglas and Sierra Vista, which are open-entry computer labs staffed by certified teachers.
We would like to provide stipends for mentors who could guide students through the AZCIS program, a six-week career discovery course; proceed to setting career goals, and complete the introductory training with college tours and field trips to actual classrooms. The students would then transition into college or Joint Technical Education District (JTED) classes.
