The drone program will allow students to receive a certification that can in turn create a career pathway and eventual job opportunities, according to the assistant superintendent.
CONROE, Texas -- The Conroe ISD board of trustees approved a new career and technical education drone program and named four district facilities in its June 21 meeting, in addition to receiving updates on construction projects at different district schools.The new drone program, created in partnership with Lone Star College-Conroe Center, will teach students how to operate and assemble drones, which have been gaining ground in different commercial industries, according to the district.
Now that the course has been approved, Upshaw said the next step will be to determine what costs the students and district will be responsible for. Superintendent Curtis Null said costs will likely end up being determined by what materials students are using only for the duration of the course.During their meeting, the board voted on naming four facilities: two new elementary schools, the police command center, and the natatorium.
Flex 23, the new elementary school being built in the Caney Creek/Conroe feeder zone and opening in August 2024, was named Janet K. Bartlett Elementary School. Bartlett's son, Cody Bartlett, said his mother was a teacher in Conroe ISD for 30 years. "We have a contractor diligently working, trying to find innovative ways to make sure we return the former Wilson Road location and the homeside parking lot-which is where our faculty and staff, and drop-off loop are for next year-back to a drivable condition," Foster said.
