The addition of an agriculture mechanics pathway to Bear Creek High School

The purpose of this project is to establish the framework for adding an agriculture mechanics pathway to Bear Creek High School. The project focused on the needs of a mechanics pathway, created a budget for cost of equipment and renovations and developed a proposal to present to the Lodi Unified School Board. Adding a mechanics pathway would provide another opportunity for students interested in Career Technical Education (CTE). CTE allows students to develop skills applicable to real life situations, providing relevance to education. There is also a current need to fill jobs in the mechanics field. Providing these classes at the high school level will better prepare Bear Creek students to enter the job market.
