Congrats to Will Atherton, Champion of CTE Award Finalist, & Holly Fraccaro, CTE Business Partnership Award Finalist. Both were named Top 3 state finalists for the NCACTE Impact Awards! Holly was unable to attend, & I happily accepted the award on her behalf. Thank you both!

I was excited to host NCR CIMCs today! Thank you to Nicole Reyes, Orange County Schools SIS Coordinator, for sharing her expertise on Infinite Campus. We’re also grateful to the Bonnie B. Davis Environment & Agricultural Center for such a beautiful space to collaborate and learn!

[Jessica Willett @MrsJWillett]

It is always so much fun getting together with the NCR CIMCs! Fun, collaboration, and learning. And spending a day with such smart and hardworking people. It’s a blessing to be a part of this region and serving CTE.

[NCRCIMC @ncrcimc]

Great day collaborating with North Central CIMCs in Orange County! Tuned into statewide updates, learned more about Infinite Campus from Nicole Reyes, & spent time in instructional coaching reflection. Even made space to color—because a little mindfulness goes a long way.

Check out info about the Workforce Pell legislation working its way through Congress! Good information regarding Pell funding for short term programs at community colleges. Community colleges have requested specific mods, but still impactful for our work!
