A+ Schools Meetings

A+ Schools and the Pittsburgh Public Schools, along with our co-sponsors, are pleased to present the remaining community meetings for the continued planning of Excel.9-12, The Plan for High School Excellence. Join us to share ideas about new educational approaches being developed to increase the rigor, personalization, and choice of programs for secondary students.

Career & Technical Education – Thursday, April 17, 2008

Learn about Pittsburgh Public Schools’ plans to redesign Career and Technical Education to help prepare students for the demands of the global job market. Hear how community input has already been incorporated into these plans and offer your ideas on how to make the program successful. This event is a great opportunity to contribute to the Career and Technical Education plans that will be voted on by the School Board in May.
