Hello Mr. Wilkens - Yes, we are still using the ACATEC programming in Allegan. That programming is for our students who generally are looking at a career in one of the many curriculums ACATEC offers. Students commit to a half day schedule at ACATEC and then the other half day at the high school. Yes, WUS does offer a auto shop class as well as a woodworking class. These are one class period a day and not as immersed as the ACATEC program, but does provide the basics in auto care and woodworking, just not the intense half day programming of ACATEC. Many students choose this method of programming as they are involved in Fine Arts classes (drama, band, orchestra, etc.) and other curriculum choices that don't fit the half day model of the ACATEC commitment. The June 30, 2021 approved AAESA budget for the Technical Programming was Revenues of $7,572,067 and Expenditures of $5,830,572. On my winter tax bill I was assessed 4.9051 mills for AISD programs (to include all programming). I will see if I can find out cost per student based on their current enrollment. Both excellent models serve a need and I can't imagine not offering both to our students who need that flexibility of choice and scheduling to get the most out of their high school experience whether that leads them to an immediate tech/career field or headed to a college program. You are right, this neutral, 0 mill bond proposal, does not increase our existing 8.4 mills, but that does not mean that this isn't adding long-term debt. Thank you for the thoughtful questions.
