USD 115 Survey Shows Interest in Vo-Ag, FFA Programs
(KMZA)--A student survey shows interest in the creation of a vocational agricultural program along with the establishment of an FFA Chapter at Nemaha Central High School.
USD 115 Superintendent Darrel Kohlman shared with the Board of Education last week the results of the survey given to current 8th grade through junior students.
Kohlman said the overall results showed that about 50 percent of the 113 students who responded are moderately to highly interested in the programs.
Kohlman said information will be presented to the Board next month on what would be expected in a contract for an instructor.He says plans are for the district to advertise in September for an instructor, and if a person is found that might be a good fit for the district and student body, the Board would then decide whether or not to add the programs to the 2017-18 schedule.
In other business, Nemaha Central Elementary and Middle School Principal Amy Beck gave a presentation on the Second Step Program which has been used in the pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and first grade this past year. Beck says the social-emotional learning program has been so successful in those three grades that it will be incorporated in all grades at the elementary and middle school building next school year.
