File Attachment:
Summary: Horizons School is seeking approval of their submission to the California Health Science Capacity Building Project grant. This grant will cover Horizons, Prospect, Summit, Gateway and Crossroads providing the first career pathway in our
District that is developed specifically for District Alternative Education students. Traditionally these students have not had access to funding for CTE pathways. This grant will allow them full access to high quality offerings in career technical education through courses, job shadowing, projects and assistance in gaining admission to health career programs at the MDUSD Adult School and the local community college. As students generally start in alternative schools in 11th grade, the first year would be dedicated to completing science classes with the integrated Health Science Pathway, including Anatomy and Physiology, Health Science II and Chemistry. In the 12th grade year, students would take Health Career Exploration and Medical Terminology which may earn students college credit from local community college and will matriculate to MDUSD Adult Education. Throughout the two years, students will participate in HOSA and other work based learning opportunities.
Funding: $30,000 would be provided to Horizons if the grant is approved.
Fiscal Impact $30,000 would be spent on the new Alternative Education Health Science Pathway.
Recommendation: Approve Horizons' submission of the California Health Science Capacity Building Project Grant.
