MMS & BHS Parents & Guardians:
The Brookings School District is gathering information from parents & guardians regarding the Career & Technical Education (CTE) provided by the district. CTE courses include Agriculture, Automotive, Building Trades, Business, Computer Science/PLTW, Family & Consumer Science (FACS), Medical & Health Science. This short survey will allow you as parents & guardians to express what your & your learners' role & participation is within our CTE program. Your responses will be included in the CTE Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CTE-CLNA). The CTE-CLNA will review the current strengths & challenges of the CTE program & identify opportunities to further strengthen the local CTE program.
Please take the next few minutes to complete the brief CTE survey by using the QR code or copy & paste the link below into your browser. Please complete this survey no later than Friday, March 8, 2024. Your input is valued & we thank you for your time & participation in Career & Technical Education in the Brookings School District.
