Superintendent Davis set to begin term as OACTS President
BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio – Ohio Hi-Point Career Center Superintendent Kim Davis will assume the Presidency of the Ohio Association of Career-Technical Superintendents (OACTS) effective July 1, 2010. Davis previously served a term as President-Elect with the professional organization. She will replace Bill Bussey from Mid-East Career & Technology Centers, who is finishing his term.
“As I take on the role of President of the Ohio Association of Career-Technical Superintendents for the 2010-2011 school year, it will be my honor to work with my colleagues around the state to take a strong, clear message to our legislators about the value that career-technical education brings to Ohio,” said Davis, who is beginning her eighth year leading Ohio Hi-Point.
Davis prepares to take the helm during a crucial time for career-technical education, as the Ohio School Finance Advisory Council completes its work and makes a recommendation to the legislature for a funding model to support career-technical programming in the next biennium budget.
“These are extremely challenging times for all of us, and Ohio Hi-Point has positioned itself well to sustain the flat-funding for career-tech in the current budget and the likelihood of cuts in the next budget. Career-technical education in Ohio will persevere.”
OACTS fosters relationships amongst Ohio's Career Center and Joint Vocational School Superintendents in order to share best practices and advocate for career-technical and adult education in Ohio. The organization communicates and works with legislators throughout Ohio to foster an understanding of how career-technical and adult education impacts the lives of students and contributes to the workforce of Ohio by supplying skilled workers to help grow Ohio's economy.
The Ohio Hi-Point Career Center develops our most valuable resource –people-- by providing quality career-technical and academic education programs.
The two-year career-technical high school serves junior and senior students from 14 school districts and offers more than 30 career training programs at the Hi-Point campus and satellite locations. Hi-Point also provides adult and continuing educational programming, ABLE/GED programs and Project SEARCH.
