January 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM - Regular Board of Education Meeting

Rationale: 

NBCPS continues to prioritize career readiness and skills training for our student body. We are pleased to recognize the success of the NBC Foundation & Career Education grant program, which supports students in obtaining valuable industry credentials, certifications, and licensures.

For this month's Celebration of Excellence, we would like to formally congratulate Ty Pojar and Hayden Frana, the recent and initial recipients of the NBC Foundation Grant. Both students were awarded $500 each to complete their Commercial Driver's License (CDL) training and licensure through Talon Logistics in Fremont. Their initiative represents the spirit of "Achievers" we aim to cultivate at NBC.

The NBC Foundation & Career Education program offers cash grants to help pay back up to 50% of the cost for various industry credentials. Eligible certifications include, but are not limited to:

• Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
• OSHA-10 and OSHA-30 Certification
• Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Med Aide Certification
• CPR/First Aid/AED
• ServSafe Certification

The second round of grant applications is currently open for all students in grades 8-12.  Applications are due March 12th.  

Thanks to Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Petersen for making this program possible.  And, thanks to the NBC Foundation for providing this grant.
