"It would be more accurate that I question the future of our ability to
be a comprehensive high school. I don't recall saying something about a
variety of missions. Specifically, if we look at some of the materials
prepared nationally to set standards, our mission in the area of Career
and Technical Education can be sharpened. Many of these
skills/standarads are, can and should be addressed in the "core"
curriculum classes. If we need to pull back on the variety of courses
we
can offer, that is, how comprehensive can we actually be, we will need
to make sure we consciously do as well or better at integrating these
skills across the curriculum.

As a sample, attached is a form used when we place a student with an
employer. These items were also of high priority when we met with local
business reps as to what they want students who interview with them to
exhibit."
