Discussion:
Ben Evans and Janet Schwabe met with FTP students who are interested in preparing a business idea for the Student Pitch-Off competition. The students will have until November to prepare their plans and can
meet further with Ben and Janet to refine their ideas. The Pitch-Off will be held on November 19th. The September PN cohort started on the 19th. We have 17 new nursing students and 56 total including the PN Select students. PTC hosted the B&I Breakfast for the Cosmetology sector in September. Sixteen participants were in attendance, with three related businesses represented. Discussion centered around legislative changes in licensing, apprenticeships, and additional training topics that can be brought to this area. Phillips 66 is currently renovating the Gas to Liquids facility to move safety training to that location. Molly, Carl Storm and the P66 team have been in discussion about the logistics of the move and other necessary items to begin utilizing the new space starting in January. We have begun meeting weekly to gather necessary information and plan the remodel of the welding area. The goal is to have bids reviewed by the end of November, which will allow for board approval of the bids at the December meeting. The plan is to begin moving equipment in January and start exterior work at that time. By Spring break, we plan to have the current area cleared and the alternate welding space prepared for classes to resume after the break. Between now and then we are working on the logistics of the necessary supplies, equipment and materials that will need relocated accordingly. We will hold our Fall capital planning meeting this month to review the preventative maintenance schedules, look at capital planning needs and determine priorities for this year’s capital planning projects. We’re also gathering information and will be looking at district needs and repurpose for the ADPC property. Amanda Perez-Vargas has submitted a letter of intent to resign in December 2025. The part-time Children’s Lab position has been filled. |
