The HPCSD Board of Education meeting held on October 24, 2024, focused on several key initiatives aimed at enhancing student opportunities and community engagement.

One of the primary agenda items was the announcement of the upcoming skilled trades job fair scheduled for October 30 at FDR High School. This event will feature various businesses and organizations that will be available to interact with students, answer questions, and accept applications. The job fair aims to provide students with valuable insights into potential internships and apprenticeships available to them during high school.

The board highlighted the collaborative efforts involved in organizing the event, noting the participation of local leaders, including the county executive and Senator Hinchey, among others. Trustee Tibbets, who attended the previous year's job fair, encouraged board members to promote the event to students, emphasizing its importance in connecting them with career opportunities in skilled trades.

In addition to the job fair, discussions included updates on the Family Resource Center, although specific details were not elaborated upon during the meeting.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to fostering student engagement and career readiness through community partnerships and events. Further details about the job fair and its outcomes are anticipated following the event.
