The Menomonie School board meeting of 11/11/2019 discussed the embedded business management associate's degree that will be offered soon. Brian Seguin, director of instruction, assessment, and 4k programming described how this will allow Menomonie High School students to obtain a college degree while they are attending high school. This program is in conjunction with Chippewa Valley Technical College. Several Menomonie High classes overlap with classes at CVTC, so students will take available high school classes and will also have instructors from CVTC come to the high school to teach. Board member Heather Klanderman stated that this is a situation where everybody wins.
This is the video of the entire board meeting from this week.
