CPC Update

Thank you to everyone who was able to help greet and direct families last night for PledgeFest. I don't know what it's looked like in past years, but it seemed to be a GREAT turnout!!

I'm off to Kansas again this evening - my youngest cousin is getting married! It should be a fun weekend with all the family. My kids are most excited about the fact that I chose a hotel in Lawrence with an indoor pool. It's the little things!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

• Please hold off entering Leave Requests for July 1 or later until the end of this fiscal year. I am not able to approve any leave after June 30 at this time . . . yet! If you would like me to know about leave occurring later this summer or next school year, you can email me for the time being! Keep entering all leave for now through June 30 though!

A note from Carol:

As a part of the budget process, we have been discussing reducing required out of pocket costs for our students. Towards that end – we plan to make the following changes for next year:

• If uniforms are required for a program, FT will provide 1 set of promotional uniforms (i.e. scrubs with FT logo) – these become property of the student
• Students will have the option to purchase additional sets
• Provide lab coats, aprons or equivalent – these are property of FT
• Provide welding gloves and helmets – FT property
• Provide welding caps – student property
• Other required gear, such as safety boots are paid for by student or activity fund or foundation

• Programs will not require students to purchase kits or knife sets, etc.
• Classes to have necessary books, tools and supplies for instruction
• PN & RC students may still purchase books
• Other book purchases to be optional
• Cosmo; Facial Nails kits available for check out for contest or testing

Cosmo and Facial/Nail kits should be greatly reduced – just to those needed for contest or testing. Instructors should be purchasing tools and supplies for classroom use. They may want to have clear storage bins for students to keep tools or supplies assigned to them in the classroom.

This will be a year of change. We will need to establish a process for purchasing the promotional uniforms. We will have challenges in establishing a new norm, but our students will benefit.
