Broad Vocational Program Sought For Area Schools
Frederick County vocational education officials and a Brunswick High School student urged the Board of Education to broaden vocational offerings at area schools. Michael Morton proposed a 12-member Vocational Advisory Commission to guide and review county programs, with staff as ex officio members. He noted only 20 percent of students go to college and urged stronger in service teacher programs. Student Shirley Gilbert presented survey results showing many seniors plan to work after graduation in fields like government, secretarial work, and that current training misses high paying jobs such as welders and electricians. She urged the board to open opportunities and align training with job market needs.
