Operation Preparation -
Volunteers Needed
Boone County Schools is committed to ensuring our students have the 21st-century skills necessary to be college/career ready - the foundation for success in life. But we need your help. Advising is one of several key strategies we are using to reach this goal.
The Kentucky Department of Education and the Department of Workforce Development have set aside the week of March 12-16, 2012, for Operation Preparation - a community-based advising initiative. During Operation Preparation, trained volunteer community advisors will meet one-on-one with 8th-and 10th-grade students in a public setting at school. Using Individual Learning Plan (ILP) advisors will talk with the student about their career aspirations and required education/training; whether the student is on target to meet their goals; and whether the student is taking the courses recommended to prepare them for their future.
Events will take place during the week of March 12th in our schools. For more information about Operation Preparation please click here or contact Sandy Holtzapfel at sandy.holtzapfel@boone.kyschools.us or 859-282-4678. |
