SECTION A – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A. Executive Summary 1.a Clinton County Board of Education seeks to acquire funds to purchase an existing

state-of-the-art underutilized facility that was originally funded for post-secondary education

opportunities for citizens in this region. The building currently houses Somerset Community

College- Clinton Center and is approximately 4 miles from Clinton County High School on Hwy

90, with Cumberland County High School being approximately 20 miles to the west and Wayne

County High School approximately 20 miles to the east of the existing facility. After speaking

with Adair, Russell, and Casey county superintendents, Clinton, Cumberland, and Wayne County

schools have decided to partner together due to Highway 90 allowing for easy travel between the

three counties along the southern border of the Cumberlands Workforce Development Area.

1.b The existing building has the capacity to house the Clinton County Area Technology

Center who would serve Clinton, Cumberland, and Wayne County students in addition to the

current Somerset Community College LPN and Cosmetology programs being offered. By

Clinton County BOE acquiring the building and moving the Area Technology Center into the

existing building, additional high school students would have the opportunity to attend and to

complete accelerated pathways that would grant post-secondary credentials prior to high school

graduation. High School students would take some courses as dual credit and some courses they

would take with Somerset Community College faculty. Transferring all ATC program equipment

to the new building along with existing ATC teachers, secondary and post-secondary training

opportunities in Health Sciences, Advanced Manufacturing, Business, Information Technology,

Automotive, and Construction would be offered immediately without the cost of buying

equipment and hiring additional faculty for new program start-up. Somerset Community College

is in agreement to hire additional faculty if enrollment supports the need. This facility would

provide secondary and post-secondary training for the top five South Region high-demand

industry sectors.

1.c Cumberland, Clinton, and Wayne County High Schools Clinton see this as an

opportunity to enhance the technical training for high school students by offering accelerated

pathways with seamless transition plans that end with post-secondary credentials including

certifications, diplomas, or associates degree. The three districts serve over 2000 high school

students, with these students being the future workforce for this area. Clinton, Cumberland, and

Wayne counties strive to be Work Ready Communities by 2020; thus, Clinton County BOE,

Somerset Community College, Cumberland BOE and Wayne BOE are committed to designing

and implementing plans of study for each of the 5 priority sectors that span across 9th-14

th grade,

providing accelerated and seamless completion of an associate degrees and/or industry

recognized credentials.

1.d The facility Clinton County BOE seeks to acquire was built 15 years ago. CMTA

Engineering Firm completed a site review and assured the building was in excellent operating

condition and very well maintained. There are 20 classrooms, state-of-the-art fully equipped

biology and chemistry labs, and four large industrial shops that have never been used, but were

built with intentions to house programs such as Industrial Maintenance, Carpentry, Automotive,

and Welding. Contingent upon receiving the grant, Somerset Community College will remain in

the building and continue to offer the LPN and Cosmetology Programs with SCC providing

funding for additional faculty contingent upon enrollment for Industrial Maintenance, Nursing,

Welding, Carpentry, Automotive, and Business.

1.e This application fits the workforce training model the Work Ready Skills Initiative

committee is seeking, with Clinton County Area Technology Center, multiple surrounding high

schools, and Somerset Community College working together to enhance and expand secondary

and post-secondary educational opportunities for the Cumberlands Workforce Development Area.

The alignment of high school pathways and post-secondary pathways in addition to secondary

WRSI 2nd

and post-secondary being housed in the same facility grants a seamless transition. Shared

resources and funding among partners will grant students career placement services to assure

skilled labor transitions into the workforce successfully.

The current ATC facility does not have the capacity to house additional students and/or

teachers and the condition of the building is beyond renovating. By leveraging resources and

strong partnerships between secondary, post-secondary, and business and industry, this plan

would increase the number of secondary and post-secondary career and technical programs to

include seven programs that address the five identified sectors in need of skilled labor. The

opportunity to house the Area Technology Center and Somerset Community College-Clinton

Center, along with the Kentucky Career Center and Adult Education would support local

initiatives toward Work Ready Communities by providing career and technical training services

that lead to a trained workforce for employers and productive citizens for communities in rural

Kentucky. Utilizing existing underutilized resources to establish a Regional College & Career

Academy within the Cumberlands Workforce Development Area would allow for immediate

return on investment.

The career and technical education offered at the Regional College and Career Academy

will provide transferable and portable soft skills and job-related hard skills necessary to meet the

challenges of the 21st century’s increasingly global and technology-based jobs market.

Through sustained relationships among education, business, and community, a skilled workforce

will be created by offering stackable and portable credentials with clear labor market value.

The early college/career Academy model will allow students to complete sequences of secondary

and post-secondary courses without duplication that lead to post-secondary credentials. This

proposal will allow students to receive academic core content classes on site in addition to

the career and technical training for accelerated program completion. Superintendents

from Cumberland and Clinton will collaboratively work together to offer English, Math,

and Science courses at the Regional College and Career Academy, thus students being able

to stay at the Academy for their academic course requirements.

E.1.h Identification of Institutions to Offer Dual/Postsecondary Credit

Secondary students will receive DUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES for TECHNICAL

and ACADEMIC courses through Somerset Community College. The Clinton County ATC

instructors are Somerset Community College adjunct professors, thus all teachers can offer dual

credit courses that count toward completion of the secondary pathways and the post-secondary

certifications, diplomas, and associate degrees. Based on enrollment, with the local districts and

Somerset Community College being housed in the same building, high school students will be

able to enroll in post-secondary courses upon completion of their secondary requirements,

allowing for accelerated pathway completion. Clinton County ATC also offers articualation

opportunites with numerous technical schools and universities that students can take advantage

of as well.

E.1.i Estimated Cost of Successful Program Completion per Student

Cumberland and Clinton county students will attend the ATC free of charge. Secondary

students enrolling in SCC dual credit courses will be charged the current $52.00 dual credit rate

per credit hour. Adult students enrolling at SCC will pay the tuition rate set by Somerset

Community College.

SECTION F – MARKETING PLAN

F.1 Marketing Plan Description / Financial Spending

Quarter Expenditure Description Estimated

Cost Q1-Year 1 Regional College and Career Liason / Marketing Recruiter 20,000

Q2-Year 1 Marketing/Advertising Print Publications $1,500




Q3-Year2 Marketing/Advertising Print Publications $2,500







TOTAL $45,000

Marketing will be a critical factor in determining the success of this project. After all, our

county could have the most wonderful facility and most advanced training in the state, but if few

people are aware of it, then its impact will be minimal. The newly-revamped Clinton County

ATC will employ a well-conceived public relations strategy with training rollouts and marketing

strategies to get our programs fully utilized.

Personal contact remains the most effective of all marketing tools. The Clinton County

School District will employ a Recruiter, who will make personal contact with prospective

students and employers on a regular basis. Duties will range from making presentations at

regional meetings to meeting individually with high school students. The Recruiter will be the

chief “cheerleader” for the new facility, conducting tours for interested parties and helping

students schedule dual credit classes. The Recruiter will be the living embodiment of the new

facility—easily accessible and full of information about exciting new career possibilities.

Even beyond the recruiter position, the ATC will have a marketing budget of $20,000 during

Year 1 (and $5,000 each year thereafter), with which to print publications and purchase various

WRSI 2nd


69

types of advertising. These funds will ensure that not only the local market in Clinton and

Cumberland Counties, but the entire region, is saturated with information regarding the ATC and

its expanded course offerings. It is our belief that the new ATC facility, because of its size and

location, is well-positioned to be a regional hub for workforce training. We will utilize

traditional media outlets to communicate to potential students both the convenience of the new

training opportunities offered by the ATC and increased employment options and wage increases

such training could bring them. Thus, the majority of the marketing budget will be spent getting

the information into media outlets across the region, as most of the local advertising can be done

inexpensively, as we have all local newspapers, radio stations, and cable outlet channels in both

Clinton and Cumberland Counties as partners in our effort.

To ensure the most effective use of the marketing budget, the ATC will institute a marketing

committee comprised of faculty members, employers, students, and community members, which

will develop and refine specific elements of the marketing strategy. Having input from each of

these key constituencies will ensure that the marketing plan is comprehensive in nature, focused

on exactly the right components, and geared toward local sensibilities. Although key elements of

the marketing strategy--such as logo development, branding, and scheduling of efforts--will be

left up to this committee, the general outline of the marketing plan that will be used for the next

four years has already been developed.

Although the marketing plan will begin generally in Year 1 (with a focus on the new

Academy, its hours, programs, etc.), subsequent years will see more specific, targeted campaigns

aimed at encouraging enrollment for targeted workforce sectors. Labor market analysis by the

Marketing Committee will help focus the message around key “hot button” topics among

prospective students and employers. Having an extensive marketing campaign targeted on key

WRSI 2nd


70

industry sectors (e.g., IT certification) will enhance chances of increased enrollment even further.

There are also many number of unique communications channels in southcentral Kentucky to

disseminate information about the opportunities available at the ATC. Some examples of these

channels include bulletin boards, intranets, newsletters, company events, vendor fairs, etc. Our

goal is to get all the exposure we can to make sure that the Clinton County ATC is well-known

as a quality postsecondary provider throughout the region.

In addition to the use of traditional media outlets mentioned earlier, the marketing plan will

rely heavily on the use of digital and social media, tools that have heretofore been sorely lacking

to market workforce training in our area. Research has shown that ttoday’s average student has

been exposed to about 300,000 hours of digital information by the time they reach their 20's.

They are more tech savvy than any other generation before them, and when it comes to deciding

where they’ll get their higher education, many millennials are turning to the Internet for more

information on the best education for their desired careers. For the Clinton County ATC to stand

out amongst the vast array of information available online, our school will create a

comprehensive digital marketing platform that will help us to reach potential students in the right

place and at the right time.

Considering that the majority of people planning to enroll in vocational schools within the

next few years happen to be teenagers, social media is a breeding ground for student recruitment.

It’s essential for the Clinton County ATC to not only have a presence on social media platforms,

but to be consistently active on them.

According to the 2014 Social Admissions Report, 68% of students use social media to research

colleges and nearly ¾ of them find social media to be very influential in their decisions. The

Clinton County School District will provide the services of a social media specialist that will

WRSI 2nd


71

share information about upcoming events, provide tips on how to study better, and post photos

showing what class experiences at the ATC are like. Facebook’s targeted ads can also help our

school better reach prospective students by getting posts directly in front of the demographics

most likely to be interested in specific programs. For example, our cosmetology program can

target ads to people ages 16-20 that live within 50 miles of the school and are interested in nail

polish brands like Essie and like the show Extreme Makeovers.

Another key element of the marketing plan involves an informative and highly accessible

website. According to the 2013 Pew Research Internet Project, 74 percent of teens say they use

their smartphones to access the Internet. In order to reach students wherever they are researching

potential secondary education, the Clinton County ATC will have mobile sites that auto adjust

based on screen size (mobile responsive), have clearly placed contact information that is easy to

click on, and links to areas on the site in which prospective students will be most interested.

Through our partnership with the local school districts, the Clinton County ATC will also

utilize texts and emails to provide prospective students with as much information as possible

about the school before they make their final decision about postsecondary training. According

to Hobsons International Student Survey, 97% of prospective students want to hear from

institutions weekly. Texts and emails (such as a monthly eNewsletter) that remind students

about upcoming events and highlight the school’s latest achievements can ensure that Clinton

County ATC stays in the forefront of the consciousness of high school juniors and seniors as a

viable postsecondary option. Utilizing information from the students’ Individual Learning Plans

will also mean that texts and emails can be even more personalized, targeting students based

upon the type of education and future training in which they plan to engage.

Yet another key element of our marketing plan will be to conduct free seminars and webinars

for schools and employers, giving prospective students an introduction to our facility and the

quality of training we offer. As a training provider, we can use seminars and webinars as a

natural extension of our expertise, providing a valuable service to companies and high schools.

For example, the Clinton County ATC could provide a webinar for all high school students on

key tips for resume writing or host an on-site seminar helping businesses meet newly-

implemented safety standards. These free “snippets” of training offer the perfect venue to

showcase what we are doing at the ATC, which gives prospective students (and employers)

tangible proof that our instructors and courses are of the highest quality.

Finally, building strong relationships with employers and school counselors is probably the

best, and most inexpensive, marketing tool available. When a student discusses postsecondary

options or when an employee asks about chances for advancement, counselors and employers

can point out the high-quality, convenient programs available at the Clinton County ATC.

Perhaps nothing will have a greater impact on getting the prospective student to make that initial

contact. Getting buy-in from these key individuals may not sound like marketing, but it is the

best possible way to “sell” our training programs. Getting employer and counselor buy-in means

that we must convince them not only to endorse our programs, but to actively promote them—

and in the case of some employers, possibly even require it.

College and career guidance and counseling programs at area high schools will be a critical

element in (1) helping students make more informed and better educational and career choices

and (2) marketing the programs available at the new Clinton County ATC. Among other things,

area counselors will provide students information on high school course offerings, career

options, the type of academic and occupational training needed to succeed in the workplace, and

WRSI 2nd


73

postsecondary opportunities that are associated with their field of interest. Of course, the Clinton

County ATC Marketing Committee will ensure that each counselor receives an in-depth

presentation (including facility tour) of the many opportunities available at the ATC.

Professional brochures, flyers, and course catalogs will be available for each counselor to

distribute to students.

Based upon interviews with graduating seniors, many students are currently unaware of the

high demand and high wage associated with many of the vocational trades. Moreover, an

alarmingly high number of them have not considered vocational/technical training as a

postsecondary option. The Marketing Committee will provide a bounty of information to

counselors regarding the postsecondary options, regional job market, and anticipated wages of all

career pathways represented at the Clinton County ATC, hopefully encouraging greater numbers

of students to enroll in both secondary and postsecondary courses there.

of students to enroll in both secondary and postsecondary courses there.

Students in Clinton and Cumberland Counties will begin their career advising early, as each

school district will sponsor meetings with 8th

grade students to highlight career options, review

Individual Learning Plans (ILP’s), and help each child map a career pathway through high

school and beyond. Each high school’s SBDM council will be encouraged to pass a policy

requiring students to complete a career pathway as a prerequisite for graduation.

Additional activities where counselors will promote careers among secondary students include:

Advising students and parents on career pathways, high school programs and academic

curriculum, preparing them for postsecondary application and admission

Arranging dual credit opportunities in technical classes to help the student get a “leg up” on

postsecondary certifications/degrees.

Informing students about dual credit and postsecondary financing that can be used to

support advanced education and training.

Developing career portfolios, which include test and grades results, examples of student

work, and resumes and cover letters to prospective employers.

Arranging job shadowing, work placements, and community-based learning programs to

allow students to directly experience workplace situations.

WRSI 2nd

Sponsoring workshops, classes, focus groups, and special presentations that focus on job

skills and personal development.

Providing specialized counseling and intervention services to provide students with

individualized attention.

Our high school counselors are key players in helping change the existing perception of skilled

labor careers. Unfortunately, many school professionals still subscribe to the “university for all”

approach to education. Therefore, changing false and/or negative perceptions begin with

educating these important stakeholders. After attending a series of workshops sponsored by the

ATC principal, area counselors will be prepared to shine a spotlight on the viability of skilled

labor careers offered at the ATC. They can promote an awareness of the realistic income and job

satisfaction these careers offer to workers. The counselors will also be important in

overcoming an incorrect assumption many students and parents have about skilled labor careers:

That they are dirty and/or unfulfilling and are simply jobs, not careers. This belief is based on

incorrect information about today’s job market and advancing facilities. Advances in technology

(which will be on full display at the new Clinton County ATC) have completely transformed the

nature of skilled labor careers. These careers can be (and in many situations are) much more

lucrative than many “respected” careers like teaching. Our school counselors are front-line

experts to help educate students, parents, and even other school personnel regarding these careers

in today’s job market.

By building extensive relationships with high school counselors, the ATC staff will be able to

increase enrollment and put many more students on the path to high wage, high demand skilled

labor careers. With enhanced knowledge, higher motivation, and materials provided by the ATC

Marketing Committee, the high school counselors will be able to educate students and parents

about the many lucrative career options available “right here at home.”

F.3 Plan to Promote Student Engagement via Student Organization & Extra-curricular

Activities (e.g. KOSSA)

A plethora of research, such as that by Lamborn et al. (1992) and Finn (2003) suggests that

participation in extracurricular activities increases students' sense of engagement or attachment

to their school, and thereby decreases the likelihood of school failure and dropping out. Thus, it

is incumbent upon schools (including ATC’s) to offer their students a wide range of

extracurricular activities and student organizations in which to participate, thereby increasing

their engagement and future success in school.

The Clinton County ATC will encourage all students to participate in student organizations,

such as Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) and Future Business Leaders of

America (FBLA). Additionally, students will be encouraged to participate in Work Skills USA,

which provides educational programs, events and competitions that support career and technical

education (CTE) in the nation’s classrooms. These activities will offer opportunities for students

to learn the values of teamwork, individual and group responsibility, competition, diversity, and

a sense of culture and community. The many extracurricular activities provided through these

organizations offer a channel for reinforcing the lessons learned in the classroom, offering

students the opportunity to apply academic skills in a real-world context, thus making the

classroom content immediately more relevant.

Mahoney and Cairns (1997) looked at the positive connection to school that participating in

extracurricular activities created among students whose prior commitment to the school had been

marginal. They discovered that a wider choice of activities resulted in a stronger effect because

students' individual needs and interests were more likely to be met. Thus, we plan to continue

encouraging all students to participate in one or more of these valuable organizations and even

offering an additional choice--the Technology Student Association (TSA), which is devoted

WRSI 2nd


77

exclusively to the needs of students who are presently enrolled in, or have completed, technology

education courses.

Students participating in any of these extracurricular activities have the opportunity to earn

positive recognition for their participation in skills-based competitions. In fact, the Clinton

County ATC has a strong history of student success (on both the state and national level) in

HOSA, FBLA, and Skills USA competitions. Students feel both a personal and a communal

sense of pride in their accomplishments through these organizations.

Clinton County ATC will continue to provide numerous opportunities for students to

participate in extracurricular activities besides the student organizations and structured

competitions. For example, students engage in community service projects, building bookcases

for elementary classrooms or putting together bicycles for a local giveaway. ATC students

participate in job shadowing, apprenticeships, and serve as ambassadors and mentors for other

students. Research (e.g., Jordan and Nettles, 2009) has proven that adolescents who are engaged

in structured extracurricular activities supervised by positive adult role models are more likely to

make a personal investment in their schooling that will result in classroom achievement.

Therefore, the Clinton County ATC will continue, and even expand, its commitment to

extracurricular activities, because they are so vital to connect students more deeply to our school,

help them develop their career-specific skills, and facilitate future academic success.

G.2 Recruiting Plan for Credentialed Teachers & Adjunct Faculty

Recruiting and retaining high-quality CTE teachers will be vital for student success. The

local board of education, the Area Technology Center, and Somerset Community College will

work with partners to recruit teachers and faculty. The ATC has been very successful in

retaining teachers and all teachers at the ATC are adjunct instructors with credentials in place

with Somerset Community College. Somerset Community College will have the option to utilize

the ATC staff; however, they Somerset may have staff established that may be willing to relocate

or take on additional evening classes.

G.3 Responsibility for Project Facility Maintenance

Clinton County Board of Educatin will be responsible for facility maintenance and

upkeep. Somerset Community College will share in janitorial services and utility cost as agreed

upon between the BOE and SCC. Once CMTA Engineering Firm completed a site review and

assured the building was in excellent operating condition and very well maintained, Clinton

County Board of Education agreed the board would be responsible for the upkeep and

maintenance of the proposed facility. Once Clinton County Board of Education acquires the

building they plan to invest in upgrading the existing lighting and controls of the facility to

significantly decrease the long-term operational cost. Clinton County Board of Education will

own the fixed assets and equipment that is currently in the SCC-Clinton Center facility. The

Area Technology Center will remain owners of equipment and furnishings that they transfer to

the new facility.

SECTION H – PROPOSED FACILITY STUDY

H.1 Explanation of Decision to Pursue Purchase of Existing Building

Attachment G (3) Clinton County Engineering Review 9/28/16 A site review and facility walk thru took place on 9/28/16. The purpose of the visit was to observe the existing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, security and telecommunications infrastructure and assess its current condition. The following is a summary of the items observed: 1. Building is served via exterior pad mounted transformer delivering 277/480 volts 3-Phase 4 Wire Wye power

distribution to the main service entrance via underground feeders. Primary service to the pad mounted transformer is delivered underground. This power service scenario should minimize any potential power outages which are more common via overhead delivery scenarios.

2. Site lighting is adequate and largely accomplished with exterior pole mounted fixtures and floods with

entrances and egress areas covered via wall mounted fixtures. Interior building lighting is accomplished via T8 fluorescent and multilamp compact fluorescent with some occupancy sensors.

3. Interior power distribution is robust with intensive flexibility throughout. This is accomplished with an

abundance of branch panelboards located throughout the traditional instruction spaces and extensive overhead buss-duct in the flexible lab/shop spaces. Power quality is addressed largely with TVSS at the main distribution panel and then closer to the loads with integral TVSS devices at the panelboards.

4. HVAC systems are accomplished utilizing water source heat pumps with electric boiler and exterior ground

mounted drain back cooling tower. The building is equipped with internet accessible Building Automation System with individual zone thermostats. Shop areas are fully conditioned via heating and cooling as well as extensive exhaust and dust collection appropriate for the spaces.

5. Domestic water, fire protection and sanitary is connected to local municipality utility systems and is reported as

adequate. 6. Low voltage systems such as fire alarm, telecommunications, security and intercom all appeared robust and

completely functional. Site observations of this facility constructed in 2004 indicate a very well maintained facility with all systems in excellent operating condition. Large components of the existing HVAC like the boiler and cooling tower have an expected life of approximately 20-25 years with the HVAC wshp units having life expectancy of approximately 15 years. I would have no reservations recommending this facility for acquisition. End of report. Respectfully submitted, David R. Higgins, II Principal CMTA
