CLEVELAND, Tenn. – The five career and technical education programs have become so popular at Cleveland High School that 145 students had to be turned away last year because the courses were full.
The school is going to add a sixth career program – culinary arts – in the 2013-14 school year.
To get ready, two rooms will be renovated and fitted with a student kitchen, said Renny Whittenbarger, superintendent of career and technical education programs for city schools. That work, with consultation from several area restaurants, can be done within the current budget, he said.
The estimated cost for equipment and set-up is $90,000. Operating costs are estimated at $10,000 the first year, declining to $5,000 the third year.
