District staff provided the Warren County R-III Board an overview of career-technical education (CTE) enrollment and partnerships, reporting modest shifts in program participation and interest in new local postsecondary partnerships.

Staff said 4 Rivers remains the district's off-campus site for many CTE courses. The presentation showed a small increase in construction-trades enrollment and a decline to zero in the recorded column for education courses at the external site this year; presenters said that decline may reflect students taking local apprenticeships or district-run offerings instead of traveling off campus. "So that's where those numbers are at the high school," a staff presenter said while reviewing the slides.

Presenters described a tour of St. Charles Community College (the transcript reference called it "State Charles Community College" then corrected to St. Charles), noting the facility's capacity for HVAC and other technical programs and discussing dual-credit possibilities. Staff said St. Charles Community College has some available capacity and could offer dual-credit CTE options, but logistics such as student transportation and scheduling would need additional planning.

The board and staff agreed to continue monitoring enrollment trends and to explore partnerships that expand local CTE pathways and apprenticeship placements.
