“At a time when the future of work is hard to predict and college degrees may not lead to good-paying jobs as they once did, CTE programs provide unique opportunities for students to discover alternative paths, which may or may not include going to college.”

Alternatives matter. Life happens between your skills.

Great news for another alternative: “the Academy of Innovative Arts received its accreditation from the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges.”

We need to meet our youth where they are, with opportunities relevant to their future, understanding that a linear life path is a dangerous fiction.

Great the school is offering different options now. Not everyone is meant for college and of course there are plenty of jobs that traditional college education can't help with.

Nice article. Just an FYI, the Analy HS girls soccer team won a 3rd round playoff game last night, in the rain, 2-0 in Sebastopol, and now will play Marin Catholic on Saturday for the NCS Playoff Championship! For a team that barely made the playoffs, they've been impressive.

Thank you for letting us know about the Analy girls soccer team and their victory in the rain.
