The staff are encouraged to do fun events on those days. Apollo is also working on some great continuing professional development. They have introduced Schoolology and allowing staff members time during the day on a rotation to learn and use the Schoolology program. This is showing great success with the staff. EHOVE : Started a Sophomore Exploration STEM program and is going well. They are having challenges with student attendance and trying to come up with ways to combat this so students will be in school. Four County : The 1 mil levy passed in early November. This was for operations. The building trades is meeting with the Defiance County Home Builders Association. They are coming in for lunch and then touring the carpentry house. Continuing to try to get business people in to see the great things that we are doing. Trying something new by having our 8 th grade tours go out to the carpentry house. Excited to see how the students will like this. Penta : This year they are doing 5 days per week with student success program. Last year it was two days per week. This program is 30 minutes long where students can get some enrichment, peer tutoring, intervention, chess, power walking, and other leisure type classes. They have had great success with this program. Pioneer: Not present at the meeting. Toledo Public: Has started a 7 th and 8 th grade class held in 20 elementary schools. This course is 1 hour per week introducing the soft skills and employability skills to the students. They are using the Novice program to help with the career search.

They have had good results on the Work Keys tests. They have tested 120 students and 83% of the tested scored a 13. They are using Key Train to help prep for the test.

The school staff was amazed at the great things happening at Vantage. Corrections Members Present: 17 Members We discussed the gradual change over from OTIESA to CTEP. All members were in agreement that the conference was heading into a new era and the new name fits. Next we discussed and agreed that OTIESA/CTEP could fall under the umbrella of Ohio ACTE. The group thought it was a smart move and that the finances would be covered. OCSS is working on several new career tech programs throughout the state which led to the discussion of the career tech teachers and their advisory committees. The group agreed that the members at the conference were excellent resources for our correctional teachers. Plus it was mentioned that our teachers should visit other career tech schools and participate in Skills USA. Gary moved to accept all regional minutes. Old Business: None New Business: Review/Discuss Constitution Revisions - update language and clarify officers -Gary moved to approve and motion passed CTEP to contract as an Affiliate of Ohio ACTE - they will take over this group s financial operations under their 5013C (non-profit status) -Gary moved to approve and motion passed Spring Conference dates - March 9,10 Adjournment: Gary adjourned the meeting at 8:41 am
