The Houston ISD bond proposal includes the addition of three new Career and technical education (CTE) centers, which would give the district four such centers, one for each division including Barbara Jordan Career Center, which is listed in the bond proposal for upgrades and renovation.
CTE campuses provide an important opportunity to students to gain skills based on their career interests, offering them a chance to explore more hands-on professions post graduation.
Superintendent Mike Miles told the board of managers during the July 16 board workshop that these facilities are key to the district’s focus on getting students ready for careers of the future.
