CTE Millage Renewal Request Passes

Upon learning voters had approved Tuesday’s CTE Millage Renewal request, Clare-Gladwin CTE issued this statement:

“We are excited by the new and continued possibilities for CTE students that have been assured by voters Tuesday, and grateful for their faith in a program that has had such a dramatic impact on the careers of thousands of our local high school students. We were fortunate to utilize the expertise and elbow grease of staff and volunteers in each of our five local school districts to ensure voters across the two counties had a keen understanding of CTE and its importance to our schools, communities and employers. We are profoundly grateful for all who helped tell the CTE story these past few months.

With the assurance of continued financial stability for the Clare-Gladwin CTE program, we can now continue striving to make it the standard bearer for student career centers across the state. Coupled with the new grant-funded CTE facility at the Magnus Center, we’re better positioned than ever to help young people discover and launch careers they’ll love, aided by an expert staff and state-of-the-art facilities. We will also continue our valuable dialogue with our many industry partners across two counties, providing potential future employees through Work-Based Learning and paying careful attention to evolving local employment trends and service gaps.

With a renewed millage and nearly all our students moving to a permanent home at the Magnus Center campus, the future for CTE students has never been brighter or filled with more potential. Whether they go to college, go to work, or both, our students will enter those chapters of their lives on excellent footing and with extremely employable skills they can use the rest of their lives. Thank you, voters in Gladwin and Clare Counties, for your continued trust in what we do; we’ll never stop working to justify your faith in our program.”
