Exciting News: Lawson BOE approves launching a 7-12th grade Agriculture Education Program and FFA Chapter!
The desire of the Lawson school community to have an Agriculture Education Program and FFA Chapter has been a long time coming! The formal process for approval of the program started in December of 2023 with the adoption of the school district's 2023-2028 Strategic Plan. Expanding career education learning opportunities was listed as a goal in the plan, focusing on expanding our offerings to include agricultural education.
We are thrilled to announce that during the December 20th Board meeting, the recommendation was made by Superintendent Stephenson to expand career education programming for the 2024-2025 school year to include a 7th- 12th grade Agriculture Education Program and Future Farmers of America (FFA) Chapter. This recommendation was made after working through a year-long plan to ensure community, parent, staff, and teacher feedback was gathered and our student body had an interest in what the expanded programming could offer. The Board of Education approved the recommendation with a 7-0 vote. This initiative marks a significant step forward, providing students with valuable skills, knowledge, and experiences in agriculture.
With the approval of the program, we look forward to providing more opportunities for students interested in developing leadership, public speaking, and communication skills and, at the same time, learning the value and importance of teamwork, collaboration, problem-solving, and time management, along with entrepreneurial, technical, and practical skills.
We are confident that with time, our Agriculture Education Program and FFA Chapter will contribute to the holistic development of our students and prepare them for successful futures in agriculture and related fields and life as a whole.
