4:15 Program discussion Last year, two long time teachers retired and despite hiring efforts no qualified teachers were found to replace them and foods classes are currently offered at one high school.
As we look at bringing this program back to Everett Public Schools, where should our program be focused: nutrition and wellness, culinary arts or other industry program need?
Based on Snohomish County food services employment needs what types of skills are needed in our community? What should we be thinking about as we add this program back to our other two comprehensive high schools?
