SECTION A – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A.1.a How Funds Will Be Used for Facilities, Equipment, and 1st Year Marketing Funds will be used to expand and upgrade the programs offered at Casey County Area Technology Center in order to provide a highly trained, modernized workforce in Casey and surrounding counties. Funds will be used to renovate the current facility, utilize community resources to obtain additional classroom/lab space, purchase updated equipment, develop a 1st year marketing plan, establish interdistrict partnerships with Russell and Adair County School Districts, and establish strong partnerships with local business and industry including post-secondary partners with both Campbellsville University and Somerset Community College to serve both high school and adult learners. Current Facility - The overall renovation project will include renovation and/or repurposing of existing spaces to provide appropriate ventilation in shop areas, HVAC, sprinkler system, entry security vestibule, lighting, fire alarm, plumbing, and ADA accessibility upgrades. Renovation will also include converting current health science classroom/lab space into diesel technology. Additional Space – Relocation of the health science program to the current Liberty/Casey County Education Center through a joint partnership agreement with the Casey County School District, Casey County Economic Development Authority, City of Liberty, and Casey County Fiscal Court will serve two purposes. One, the space currently used for health science in the existing facility will be converted to diesel technology. Second, the move of health science to its own facility will allow the creation of a Pre-Nursing Academy (CNA – Casey Nursing Academy). The KCTCS Adult Education staff and the WIOA staff currently located within the current Liberty/Casey County Education Center would continue to operate and provide assistance to students of all ages. CNA will provide a seamless entry for health science students into an accredited nursing program through Campbellsville University and/or Somerset Community College. Students will be able to obtain dual credit for their high school health science classes and certain high school academic courses that will feed directly into a post-secondary RN pathway offered by Somerset Community College, then into the RN to BSN pathway offered by Campbellsville University. Students obtaining their RN from Somerset Community College will be able to transfer credits to Campbellsville University’s RN to BSN program. Funding from this initiative will enable the Casey County Area Technology Center to better provide instruction to meet emerging industry-driven standards, create appropriate classrooms and shop areas, as well as purchase state-of-the-art equipment that is aligned with current industry standards. Marketing Plan – Various methods will be used to market and attract participants to workforce training and education programs at the project site. A major component will be to use other community partners to assist with marketing such as Community Ed, Somerset Community College, Career One Stop, Casey County News, Casey County Schools District Website, Casey County ATC Page/District Website, Economic Development Authority, Chamber of Commerce, School-based enterprises, WREB/HOSA/FBLA – PSA’s, Social Media, and 21st Century.

A.1.c KWIB Sector & Career Pathway Selection / Goals & Desired Outcomes Pathways offered at Casey County ATC are offered based on the opportunities available for students upon completion of the pathway. All programs being offered, or planned to be offered, fall into one of the high-demand KWIB sectors identified for the Cumberlands Region. Goals & Desired Outcomes – To expand and upgrade the programs offered at Casey County Area Technology Center in order to provide a highly trained, modernized workforce in Casey and surrounding counties in the Cumberlands Region; to develop interdistrict partnerships in order to expand available opportunities for students; provide career pathway options that provide smooth transitions for students, minimize institutional barriers, and provide clear direction for students in the attainment of credentials, degrees, and/or training beyond high school. Funding of this grant will allow Casey County ATC to move forward, to tap into an unemployed workforce, to stimulate the regional economy and to meet the needs of employers wanting to remain or move into the region.

A.1.d Why Do Existing Programs Fall Short? Programs are meeting some of the needs in identified sectors; however, the needs of business and industry are changing and are greater than can be fulfilled with current structure. Existing programs fall short due to a lack of funding available to provide students with the training on up-to-date equipment used in industry and a lack of regional focus among the programs offered. The regional focus would allow students to be exposed to multiple businesses outside of Casey County.

A.1.e How Our Proposal Fits Into a Regional System of Available Training The proposed plan will allow a more efficient use of current available assets by locating health science in the Liberty/Casey County Community Education Center. Partnerships with Casey County EDA, City of Liberty, Casey County Fiscal Court, WIOA, KCTCS Adult Education, Somerset Community College, Campbellsville University, Tarter Farm and Ranch, Lake Cumberland CDL, Neat Companies, Russell County School District and Adair County School District create a regional system for available training. The CAR (Collaborating Across the Region) Initiative between the Casey, Adair, and Russell County School Districts will provide greater access to specialized programs for students in all three districts. Casey County will become the Transportation & Logistics Sector hub with its diesel program, Russell County will become the Advanced Manufacturing & IT hub, and Adair County will focus on specialized pathways in health science such as EMT and Physical Therapy with an Advanced Healthcare hub.

SECTION E – WORKFORCE TRAINING & EDUCATION DESCRIPTION

E.1.a Number of Program Participants that Can Be Served at One Time The workforce training and education that will be offered at the facility for which grant funding is sought includes: Health Science Offer evening pre-nursing courses for adult learners through Campbellsville University and/or Somerset Community College in addition to pre-nursing, pharmacy technician, phlebotomy technician, and allied health secondary pathways currently being offered for secondary students. Also offer evening State Registered Nurse Aid course through Somerset Community College in addition to the SRNA training and dual credit provided for secondary students as well as adult learners. Phlebotomy Technician and Pharmacy Technician programs also offer secondary students the ability to transition immediately into the workforce with the credentials earned in those programs. Students in each program will be able to immediately enter the workforce upon successful passing of state/national exam. Transportation Offer evening diesel and/or automotive technology courses for adult learners through Somerset Community College in addition to the pathways cureently being offered for secondary students. Contineu to offer dual credit for secondary students. Credentialing for secondary students would include the Student ASE in all eight areas. Welding Offer lab space for employee training after hours. Offer evening welding classes for adult learners leading to certification through Somerset Community College and/or Cumberlands Workforce Development Area in addition to training for secondary students to earn KY Department of Transportation (DOT) and/or 2F Welding Certification upon successful passing of written and performance exam. Phase II of this initiative would allow for welding lab space to be maximized and updated. Electricity Phase II of this initiative would allow the electricity program to add motor controls and programmable logic controllers (PLC’s) to the current course offerings of Circuits, Construction I and II, Basic Trouble Shooting and Co-op courses by expanding or relocating lab space and purchasing the necessary equipment and trainers. Training on motor controls and PLC’s are necessary in order to prepare students for what is being used in industry. Before the advent of solid-state logic circuits, logical control systems were designed and built exclusively around electromechanical relays. Relays are not obsolete in modern design, but have been replaced in many of their former roles as logic-level control devices, relegated most often to those applications demanding high current and/or high voltage switching. Students wanting to pursue post-secondary training need to be trained on current industry designs. Digital Learning The use of a non-traditional schedule that will provide students with greater flexibility and additional options is also being explored. Students would then be able to take additional technical classes, dual credit classes, off-campus college classes, or work-based learning opportunities for full days instead of portions of days. The total number of program participants that can be served at any one time are identified (by program) below:

Business Technology – 24

Health Science – 43

Automotive – 18

Diesel – 18


34 | P a g e

Electricity – 18

Welding – 36 Based on the current schedule, a total of 157 students can be served at any one time (one period). A total of six periods per day (allowing one period per day for teacher planning) would serve 942 (unduplicated) secondary students. Evening and adult classes, as well as extended school services through 21st Century for middle school and/or high school students can also serve 157 students at any given time assuming all programs are offering evening classes at the same time.

E.1.b Annual Number of Program Participant Completions/Graduations Current enrollment (duplicated – Oct 1) for Casey County Area Technology Center for the 2016-2017 school year:

Welding Technology – 167 students Health Science – 232 students Electrical Technology – 82 Business Technology – 86 Automotive Technology – 81

Graduation rate for CCATC is 100% based on data from the Technical Education Database System (TEDS). Casey County High School Graduation rate is 97.4% based on data reported on the School Report Card. Enrollment numbers anticipated at the completion of the project for high school students will increase with the addition of the Diesel Technology program by approximately 76 students. Anticipated levels for adults would include 75 adult students. This number is based on offering one evening adult class in health, advanced manufacturing, construction, and transportation in both Fall and Spring semesters.

The following table shows the number of industry certifications awarded to students over the last three years. The table also includes historical data on enrollment, number of preparatory students, number of college ready students, number of students earning the National Career Readiness Certificate (WorkKeys), the number of students scoring a 50 or above on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), and other college and career related statistical data for Casey County Area Technology Center. These numbers will increase with the addition of the diesel program and possible adult certifications earned.

F.2 Career Promotion Plan for Secondary Students Career Readiness is a top priority at Casey County High School. We emphasize College Readiness; however, we are realistic and know that some of our students will not attend a four-year University. Therefore, we work with students from the time they enter high school until they graduate to guide students in to a Career Pathway. We collaborate with our on-campus Kentucky Tech to promote their programs along with the ones we offer at the high school. Career Guidance, Job Shadowing, and Career Café are a few of the things counselors do to promote secondary students. Career Guidance involves consulting with all students individually twice annually to discuss career pathway options. Depending on whether they are a freshmen, sophomore, junior, or senior will determine the consultation agenda. As freshmen and sophomores, we promote all of our pathways so the students can start thinking about which areas in which they are interested. We encourage them to take classes from at least 2 pathways so that they can do a comparison and pinpoint their main interest(s). In addition, during state assessments, we allow department heads from pathway areas to speak to freshman to promote their particular pathway. During the junior and senior years, we focus on at least one pathway for each student and organize their schedules to make sure they have as much access to those pathway courses as possible. Job Shadowing is encouraged especially at the senior level. There are at least 3 days set aside during the calendar year for students to get out in our community to work closely with individuals in areas of job interests of each student. They may use all 3 days to shadow the same job, or they can choose different areas to go during those days. We also involve the community through Career Café. Each career pathway will participate in a Career Café day which will involve 3-5 community members in the chosen field to come in and talk with the students about their careers. There will be a Q & A session afterwards during a working lunch that enable students to find out as much as they can about those particular careers Helping our students experience success after high school is important to us. We want to provide them with as much education and training as possible before they leave to enter either the workforce, technical college, or university. Promoting careers and encouraging them to set goals is an important step in making that happen.

F.3 Plan to Promote Student Engagement via Student Organization & Extra-curricular

Activities (e.g. KOSSA) Career and technical student organizations (CTSOs) are a vital component of career and technical education. CTSOs provide opportunities for students to build leadership, networking, and technical skills through competitions and conferences. CTSO’s will continue to provide those opportunities. In addition, 21st Century will partner with ATC staff to offer various after school activities for students related to specific careers. They will also provide some after school workforce training for parents of middle and high school students. Partnerships with YCC and Gear Up! will also be established to create meaningful after-school activities to promote student engagement.

G.2 Recruiting Plan for Credentialed Teachers & Adjunct Faculty

It is extremely important to recruit, select, and credential the very best teachers. Experience in their field and a desire to teach their craft are most important priorities. Recruitment is done through human resources, advertisements placed in local and surrounding area newspapers, on-line application, and word-of-mouth. Business/industry representatives are invited to sit on interview panel along with area technology center principal, area technology center teacher, high school principal, area technology center principal from surrounding area, minority representative, and human resource representative. Once hired, new teachers are required to attend New Teacher Institute to provide them with information and


53 | P a g e

a toolbox of strategies to help them make it through their first year. Constant contact with new teachers by the principal and support from the other faculty are also extremely important in order to retain those teachers once hired. Credential files with Somerset Community College for all staff are complete and all current staff have been approved as adjunct faculty. Adjunct faculty guidelines for Campbellsville University have yet to be determined, but will be part of the overall memorandum of agreement.

G.3 Responsibility for Project Facility Maintenance The Casey County School District is the owner of the current and will be responsible for upkeep and maintenance of the project facility, fixed assets, and equipment upon completion of the partnership project. Casey County School District will use, in part, the 20% Vocational Seek dollars to offset the cost of upkeep and maintenance to the facility. KY TECH district will allocate monies for one maintenance/custodial person to remain in the current facility and will be responsible for day-to-day janitorial and light maintenance duties. KY TECH janitorial personnel will allocate 2 hours each day performing janitorial duties in the Liberty/Casey County Community & Education Center. Casey County School District will also provide janitorial personnel to assist with janitorial duties at the Liberty/Casey County Community & Education Center. Casey County School District maintenance personnel will assist with maintenance issues that are not within the scope of the on-site janitorial position at both the ATC and the Liberty/CaseyCounty Community & Education Center. Routine building maintenance and upkeep not covered by 20% Vocational Seek dollars will come from Casey County School District’s building/maintenance budget and KY TECH Casey County Area Technology Center operations budget.

SECTION H – PROPOSED FACILITY STUDY

H.1 Explanation of Decision to Pursue New Construction/Renovation of Current

Facilities

KY TECH – Casey County Area Technology Center currently provides technical training to high school students from one feeder district (Casey County) in five program areas: Accounting/Office Technology, Health Science, Automotive Technology, Electrical Technology, and Welding Technology. The decision to pursue additional space, renovation of current facilities, and the creation of partnerships between education, government, and business in this community is based on the need to provide the best possible world-class education to the students of this community. The proposed partnerships identified in this application will provide the opportunity to update and renovate the current facility, purchase new equipment, better align program offerings with the needs of business and industry, and expand training opportunities to adult and post-secondary students. The current facility was built in 1970 and housed a business program with three teachers, automotive technology, welding technology, horticulture, and an auto body program. A new roof renovation was completed in 1994. As an area technology center, it is important to stay abreast of the needs of local


56 | P a g e

business and industry. Over the years, the Casey County Area Technology Center has worked closely with the local school district and with business and industry to make adjustments to program offerings based on the needs of the community. Prior to the 1995-96 school year, the auto body program was changed to an electrical technology program. During the time this program has been available, it has produced at least two electrical engineers, and a minimum of 35-40 that currently work in electrical fields and has had a very positive impact on the community. For the 2002-03 school year, Casey County ATC began offering health science classes. With the retirement of a business education teacher, the business program became a two-teacher program instead of a three-teacher program. The health science program has been so popular with students that the program was expanded to a two-teacher program in 2014-15 in order to accommodate student demand. The second health science teacher position was added to replace a vacant business position. The business program is now a one-teacher program. The health science program has been very successful in preparing students to immediately enter into the workforce as CNA’s, Pharmacy Technicians, Phlebotomy Technicians, or EKG Technicians or furthering their education in one of the many health care career options available. The growth of Tarter Farm and Ranch also prompted the expansion of the welding program to a two-teacher program. The second welding instructor position was added to replace a vacant horticulture position at the beginning of the 2014-15 school year. This expansion was made possible with funds provided by Tarter Farm and Ranch and with their continued assistance with the purchasing of consumable welding supplies. Over the past months, Casey County ATC and Casey County High School have worked diligently with the Casey County Economic Development Authority to develop a Work Ready Communities application. That plan was approved and Casey County is now a Work Ready Community in Progress. This is just one of many initiatives that demonstrates the willingness of the schools in the Casey County District to partner with local business and industry to address the need to develop a qualified, skilled, technical workforce. The decision to pursue renovation of the current facility and the purchase of an additional facility is based on the belief that this project would provide the best possible opportunities for Casey County students at both the secondary level and the post-secondary level. Renovation of the current facility is needed to address functional space issues for the addition of a diesel program as well as ADA issues and safety issues. The current facility does not adequately address ADA accessibility for both the girls’ and boys’ restrooms which would be corrected by the renovations proposed. This plan also addresses the need for a safety vestibule entrance and move the administration space where the entrance to the building could be monitored at all times by front office staff. Moving the health science programs to a satellite facility will free up space to expand the existing automotive space and add the space needed for the diesel program. While moving the health science and business programs creates space for diesel, the move also accomplishes another important goal. That goal is to create a partnership with a post-secondary institution that would allow high school students to complete specific courses that would allow student to complete their LPN after their first year of college. This would then allow students to move seamlessly into the RN nursing program through Somerset Community College and then the RN to BSN through Campbellsville University all within the same building.
