002be on TV Dr Glenn Faircloth the superintendent and then we have uh the wonderful award winning treasur wow that's an inside joke the award winning treasur and that is is Cory Thompson is oh but you will hear that again the best part of Cory is he's uh he's a Pioneer alumni that's what I just heard then Mario and then of course we would like to introduce Mario he's our communications director as well um is that everybody that I'm introducing yes okay but this is our representation for JBS are they having words or what are we doing I don't say anything words video presentation that be great then we get out of you guys' hair all right once again I'm Dr Faircloth superintendent of lra County yes uh this is my 13th year as superintendent uh
003at the JBS I got here in 2012 uh over the many many years we have a lot of changes um we we have grown some building projects and things of that nature uh the JBS is a 53 almost 5 40 year old institution we started in 1971 and with Career Technical education it was a government roose's initiative to create vocational education for some students that uh could not or just didn't do well in Traditional School uh but over those years things have changed so now we have transitioned from vocational Ed to Career Technical Ed so now you're seeing a more highly technical programs throughout the country so when you go into different labs they not this oily floor disy thing you seeing high levels of thinking high levels of critical thinking that is and you
004seeing a lot of different aptitudes that us must have here at the JBS under our roof we sit close to 1400 students uh we have a few satellite sites throughout uh L County uh with our 13 associate School District which obviously ayria is one of them and with those programs they also receive resources that we have have here most of our students will be part of a competition of sort uh couple years ago we had one student that was able to compete on the world uh Championship level and in a few years there we had another world one was in Russia IET where the other one was at um but most of our students will win Awards and they go nationally through California things of that nature um we are one of the Premier Career
005Technical scho in Ohio it's 49 of us only in Ohio and we and all of us service certain certainly in school district we're we 13 got some further south Ohio that that have over 30 something associate school districts there um this video that Mario will will facilitate will show some of our programs which you might see some familiar Alan students from the past or even present in there in our programs here we also have an adult education program program uh that's actually going on in the evening we also have an adult diploma program and what that is is throughout the state um Ohio Department of Education said what can we do in Ohio the ad ADP program is called the adult diploma program different from the GED so this adult diploma program where it has
006the students who were former students who didn't complete dropped out for whatever reason and now they able to come back obtain it high school diploma and actually receive a Career Technical program I.E welding or something of that nature that they can take with them um so now they have something in their toolbox so to speak that now they can begin to earn uh a living wage that's very productive that uh Mario will present the video as we uh talk about that but at the end we will open it up for any questions uh maybe if you see the video or maybe you came here tonight with some questions Mar yeah so uh fitting we have the larious school district here so uh we actually every month we do a student Spotlight and that student Spotlight
007is correlated to a specific associate school district and then obviously one of our Career Technical pro programs like Dr Faircloth mentioned we have over 30 plus Career Technical education programs Under One Roof so this is uh junior uh Charlie Cannon um which I think is pretty telling uh a lot of people don't know this students can come in and out of our school district so just because you start with us your freshman year doesn't mean that you have to stay with us your your sophomore junior or senior year so this is a testament to a student that was with Alyria and decided hey like I want to try something else and so she came here her uh her junior year or her softway year excuse me [Music] so this is the topic that I get
008the pleasure of talking about each and every day um I think I've my team has the greatest jobs in the world I don't know how much of you guys know about Career Technical education um but it is at the Forefront of talent and when we talk about Talent we talk about students and if um if you're not hearing it please Champion it education and Career Technical education is Workforce Development it's Workforce mobility and the state of Ohio is in a crisis right now when it comes to Talent um when you look at four-year colleges students are not going to those colleges they're going to Career Tech they're not knowing what their career plan is um what that's going to look like and so um you know I will say the lcjvs is at a different
009uh different Focus right now we really want to be collaborative with our 13 associate school districts I actually say 14 because I think it's really important that we Elevate and support the Rain City schools in that effort um and I will tell you that uh Career and Technical education is going to be a continued conversation I was at the Ohio um act seminar and the state is pushing Career and Technical education in traditional schools every student should have the opportunity and have the information to make very informed decisions and so we want to work with the lar School District to make sure that they have the infrastructure they have the support they have the Career Technical expertise and so it's all of our jobs it's no longer just an AIA student it's no longer an
010lcjb lcjvs student it is a the r County uh student and it's our job to figure out what that looks like and make sure that every student has a care path because every student is not made for a fouryear career pathway maybe they're they're set up for a traditional school and then going into our Adult Career program or a CT student that goes into our doll career program and then into an um LCC or tric FastTrack program so what I can tell you is please follow us on our social media accounts um we are getting uh inquiries every day from elected officials to employer relations we um they're they're trying to understand what are we doing from a talent perspective and I'll just give you this last sound bite if there's any questions we would
011all be happy to address we had a student uh last year that academically just was not it was not J was not doing well decided to come to us and graduate in a welding program the student called left us a voicemail was like I don't know who needs to know this story but I just started doing my taxes and my W2 was $67,000 this year and he just graduated um from lcjvs and I think those are the stories that are that are transforming families they are transcending um stats that we read about in Lorraine County and across Ohio and so what I can tell you is please follow us on our on our social media accounts because we're doing some amazing things and we want to replicate that across the Wayne County with all of
012our schools so that's my so great Wonder thank you questions no that was quick and dirty uh Career Tech but here at at at at the JBS we have programs I think you guys got Le kind of probably talks about some of the programs that we had so we have programs in auto collision repair from uh cosmology uh as a spotlight she's in our Bakery program but on the other side of Bakery you actually have a culinary program where they actually cooking and most of those become chefs and and uh uh Charlie she she presented to the board last last last meting last and cuz she had won competition and things like that you know then she's from a she talked about how great the program is but she's one of many students that we
013have to go off and win competition and the cool thing about the competition piece is not just the competition itself what I appreciate more is that the board has approved and allow those funds to happen that these students often get to travel out of state you know that might have been their first time ever on an airplane first time certainly in those type of cities and experiencing different things from that culture uh so that's the beautiful thing that we get and we get students that come back and they I to share that mostly like wow I remember why I why I got a chance to go to Tampa Florida for example or I got to go to Arizona uh and when they when they go there they just wow because maybe if they go this
014time of the year and if they going to Arizona there's no snow and it's warm so that kind of blows their mind that hey work short there so that's some additional conversation that you get outside of their War experiences and those things are not taken lightly they not uh these are high level you know I know most of you all won't get a chance but when you go judge and see these students are coming from all over the state of Ohio and they there and they need business I mean they these instructors have them sharp they have them ready to go and if they not ready to go here then the instructor will set for comp comptition because we know that the JBS name is on it and the reputation is on there and culinary
015is one of our Premier programs there they have won awards uh all over the country they the team to beat when another school comes in there and they like oh wow got watch out for Thats So it's very competitive for them so uh beautiful thing and and and seeing them even in the community I live in ALA so often times I'm at a barber shop or some some students come in here hey so I love those conversations that we that we are having so if you have any questions like Mar said you can follow us on our website uh we're not doing a tour today but you welcome to call and set up a tour uh there I know the time there try to do that but uh I will say we call ourselves 10
016acres Under One Roof so even if it was one building uh square footage wise it probably be more equivalent to about six to seven buildings based on some of the buildings school buildings that are built in the county so we have a upper level lower level of course this is a base level with huge program so it's all kinds of need stuff my daughter um graduated last year from JVS she went to lar High through 10th grade and then transferred in the um cosmetology but then ultimately the spot Tech which was a new program and uh she got a job probably a month after graduated at a fairly upscale um salon and you know does nail facials loves it so it's a great program for her beautiful program and adult program too we have we
017have college as well on the adult side uh yeah hot some of our new initiatives there uh uh and you guys first school district to hear about it we will be working on the CDL program so that's going to be on the adult side but we will fuse that with uh now they changed the law you used to have to be 21 CDLs but now they lower it to 18 for CDL but you only can drive State Side so which is going to be wonderful for us because that's a natural progress a mechanic program uh some of those type of Transportation programs that quite naturally if they working on they may have to drive in one day so they have a c and have a chance to begin to earn them as they graduate and
018then probably finish up in the summer or something like that if that student's not quite 18 so and that's a huge program that we uh working on so we got some parking lot issues that we need toig stuff but the CDL program should be coming soon some other logistical things we have to do uh but that's going to be huge for R County um I think a lot of superintendant will be happy because they can't find bus drivers find bus driver right problem so uh hopefully uh driv at so we know driv that is a huge need for this area um from a barrier standpoint so understanding to dr's point understanding the economy and how our programs align to that to make sure that we're addressing the econom of way back in4s I law enforcement
019program so two question you guys still have law enforcement um and also I notic in the the presentation that the young lady attended her sophomore year only the way back in my time that you attend a Junior and senior so how dides that work now we don't law enforcement anymore but we do have the fire safety program so we transition to more uh fire fire safety that was off the demand of shortage but we have been in conversations a little bit about Public Safety um as some of you all may know it's a shortage in the police demand so we talked to uh a couple uh area police Chiefs and they like hey how can we help it because I think they also have lowered some of their qualification to be a police officer just
020because of the the short and it's going to be a high demand there you mentioned about Career Tech mainly coming in your Junior and junior year and then you can do the junior year and Senior year 2third of the 49 Career Tech centers that I mentioned all have 9 through 12 programs and what happened not all of them necessarily started that way but what they found out that you were decreasing the amount of chance for the programs that you already had to be successful for example if you're 11th grade depend on that season one season uh we had a large amount of students that came in that wanted Builders trades and reason why that was you had so many programs on TV where you had women doing trades in in construction all these home designing
021programs all that so that became a new way so that's say you had all those students that come in there so now you're losing out students for uh HVAC welding electricity all those programs now those numbers are depleted so now like how do we feel those and then be waiting there so we end up expanding the ninth and 10th grade to have that opportunity so that became more robust and then it also L the opportunity just like a student may not be a good fit at a traditional school They Also may not be a good fit here so it gave them a chance to come here and say you know what I don't think I like this and they can get out before it's too late because when they come to the junior year and
022then they wait till the end of that and say well no I don't think I want that and then they see a year maybe they go back to their associate School District they missed out on a lot of things so we began to get a better holistic student and to be able to create programming that would last because now some of our Career Tech programs we do go down to the 10th grade where they can receive credits for that as a matter of fact what that allowed us to do is also some students when you went this was imp possible but we allowed now some students have dual certifications and reason why is because they can start so early and which was huge because imagine uh like the board member mentioned now daughter de then
023when we BR in another program depending on that model wasn't there she wouldn't been able to get both just wouldn't enough time because we we couldn't start them early but now you can start a little bit early in grade year some of the programs and now they can get those credit earn through qualifications part of that if you don't CH in is again in '94 there was an bus so it's about Student Success at this moment so opportunity for nth and 10th grade is all about exploration so they get the opportunity I said instead of just going to pick my trade in grade like law enforcement that ninth grade and 10th grade year they get to go through what six different programs they get to try while they're here so they can then have the
024opportunity to say is this what I want they're picking the right program that they want they're going to go successful in it instead of trying to take that chance that junior senior year so again it's about giving the students the opportunity Choice giveing the opportunity to see what's available for them and that's we Mark success success is not just getting that certification but also finding out about yourself and finding out what you want like before you go make commitments potentially either here or at a college where you start spending some money you know that before you actually leave a rank on JS or School partnership so you're the one that actually kind of opened that up we used to have a very small program nighto yeah really why not let every Junior you know freshman
025or sophomore come in here and try to get an opportunity to see what is available for them and make some choices without having to make a full commitment it's a better success rate because probably in 94 when you was here I bet you you probably saw a lot of students and this ain't for me and they left I that success rate and I don't know if it was because the program but imagine if you had a chance to experience that a little bit and you said no I don't like that guess what now you got these other five different programs early on that you can say wow I really like this welding thing didn't know much about it now I'm in it and you know we have many families that are traditional welders so they
026come in their dad was a welder their mom grandfather they think they get they like welding well they get in there they don't realize how hot it is they don't realize how dangerous it is you know they like you know what I I don't like this I know Granddad and dad and mom did it but this not for me but I really really love Mas you know so that gives an opportunity cuz we had low success rates when we just had Junior a lot of them went completed just because they had no like you said you I don't know why you didn't enjoy it but it just didn't work out for you now you probably you had to go back to that's where you from yeah 94 yeah wild wild my brother went way before
027that some put FR That 80s yes I'm with you GL yeah any more questions if not I thank you all for coming uh we get out your hair so you can finish conducting your business and thank you guys for allowing us to host you all this if snacks there um please take some eat we clean it up later so wor about so thank you guys thank you so much thank you [Applause] to introduce our board we have uh Mr brentt Parker to my right Mr Mike Gart to my left Mrs Annie Karen uh who's vice president but she's also the Alla City Schools board liaison for JBS correct is that what the I don't know what the title is but appointee to point and colen ahol award Winnie treasurer okay uh we have no board
