Transportation – Member School Districts

• High Schools: Monroe Central, Winchester, and Union City
• RAZ-32 will provide bus transportation to/from the host high school where the CTE pathway is located for the morning programs only (first block). Students are required to utilize the transportation services provided by the school and are NOT permitted to drive their own vehicle when enrolled in a morning RAZ-32 CTE pathway.

Transportation – Participating School Districts

• High Schools: Randolph Southern, Wapahani, and Northeastern Wayne
• The school district or individual student must provide their own transportation to/from the host high school where the CTE pathway is located.

Yes. Students must follow the school dress code of the host high school. In addition, program instructors will advise students regarding required uniforms, scrubs, or shoe requirements for the classroom or lab areas. Instructors have the authority to set the required dress/shoe requirements in each program area in order to comply with health and safety standards.

Yes. Regular attendance is essential to success. If a student is to be absent, it is necessary that a parent/guardian make direct contact with not only the home school, but also the host high school to report the absence. After five unexcused absences, the host school will communicate the attendance concerns to the home district contact person or school administrator who will take appropriate action to improve the student’s attendance. Multiple absences can result in the loss of pathway classes and credits.

Student grades and attendance are reported to the home high school at the end of each nine-week grading period and at the end of each semester. The home high school then reports the grades on scheduled report cards and high school credits earned are reflected on the student’s transcript.

Each CTE pathway is different with regard to specific costs and requirements. For example, students in the welding program may need to provide a welding helmet, jacket, and gloves. Students in the Medical Assisting program may need to purchase scrubs. In addition, there may be costs associated with the related drug screening, TB testing, criminal history background check, or other requirements related to the career field or industry. In some cases, the requirement costs are covered by other funding.

RAZ-32 CTE curriculum is developed based upon state, national, and business and industry certification standards. Programs provide students the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in preparation for industry certification testing.

Yes, the majority of RAZ-32 CTE pathways allow students to earn college credit through dual credit partnerships with Ivy Tech. These courses align with Ivy Tech’s certificate and associate degree programs, helping students seamlessly continue their education and complete credentials in less time.

Students can earn high school credit only. They will still learn the same content and take the same tests, so why not earn free dual credit to use later?

No, dual credits are free, which is why they are such a great deal for students and parents.
