10. CTE Pathways Update  
Presented by Assistant Superintendent Payne 
 
Assistant Superintendent Payne presented a comprehensive overview of CTE programs. 
 
Los Alamos offers a wide range of CTE courses and Pathways (800+ students take at least one 
CTE course; 50 are currently recognized as pathway completers, with potential to identify 
more). 
 
Priorities include increasing industry-recognized credentials, improving course selection 
materials, and better aligning programs with local workforce needs. 
 
The district is working to better track and recognize students who complete full CTE pathways 
and is expanding partnerships with local colleges and organizations.
