Quarter 4 had several highlights for Sweetwater Adult Education (SAE) for both students and staff. The State invited SAE to apply for a grant which supports student learning in the area of Career Technical Education (CTE) medical pathways, emphasizing language supports for English Secondary Language students (ESL). Our regional consortium was one of only 11 LEA’s throughout the state invited to apply. Additionally, in quarter four we also celebrated one of the higher percentages of students completing their educational goals in the areas of High School Diploma (HSD / HSS), Career Technical Education certifications, GED and HiSET. We ensured our students were celebrated and recognized for such achievements through awards ceremonies, including our capstone event students participating in graduation “walking” ceremonies. Lastly, and shared previously in Q3, one of our challenges has been to utilize some additional carryover dollars in a meaningful way that associate with the difficulty to recruit and retain part and full time staff due to global and regional labor shortages. However, we continue to collaborate with our district and consortium partners on recruitment and retention strategies and we were pleased to have a large number of positions postings just recently (while submitting this summary report) that will assist tremendously in this area.
