Castlemont High construction pre-apprenticeship program: district fronts costs, reimbursed up to $400,001 in federal funds

Construction Trades Workforce Initiative and the district will run the Project Spark Plug MC3 Pre-Apprenticeship Program at Castlemont High School from March 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026. The agreement is labeled no cost, but it passes through a federal Department of Labor grant: the district pays program costs first, invoices monthly, and is reimbursed up to $400,001. The agreement period began before this approval.

Discrepancy from the official text. The title calls this a "No Cost" agreement, but a footnote says the District will front the program cost and be reimbursed up to $400,001.00. (Confirmed by a reviewer.)
