Hanks questions SCA on principal's support and nursing program investments
Hanks asks whether the Curtis principal supports the expansion and whether SCA will commit programmatic resources to the nursing program. Palton confirms the principal is supportive and commits to adding 100 nursing seats by the annex's opening, growing from 345 to 445 students.
I'd like to recognize Councilmember Hanks again.
Thank you so much, Chair.
This is for SCA.
Is the principal of Curtis High School supportive of this expansion at this site?
As far as I know.
I'll take that as a yes.
Yes.
Thank you.
Him and I have had extensive conversations around it.
That's excellent.
Thank you so much.
So we understand that there's a high demand for a nursing program at Curtis.
Is that right?
Are you able to commit, which you've already done, providing the necessary programmatic resources to ensure the nursing program continues to thrive at this new facility?
Yes, we are.
Thank you.
And please describe the specific investments to ensure this program's continued success.
We currently have 345 students in the nursing program, and we are committing to add an additional 100 students by the time of the annexes opening.
Thank you so much.
That is all, Chair.
Thank you.
