IX.G. Consideration and Possible Action to Add the Position of Coordinator of College, Career, and Student Success at Florence High School for the 2026-2027 School Year Presenter: Rick Kirkpatrick Description: As the Texas Education Agency continues to make changes to CTE course sequencing and offerings as well as the changes to CCMR, the district recommends adding this position so we have a dedicated individual ensuring every student is on an aligned pathway. The coordinator would provide leadership and coordination of Career and Technical Education, career advising, internship development, dropout prevention, attendance improvement, and Section 504 services. The position would be responsible for expanding high-quality CTE opportunities, strengthening partnerships with business and industry, increasing student engagement, and supporting systems that ensure students remain on track for graduation and postsecondary success. The goal would be for the position to fund itself with increased attendance and CTE offerings.
