SECTION A – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Executive Summary 1.a Clinton County Board of Education seeks to acquire funds to purchase an existing
state-of-the-art underutilized facility that was originally funded for post-secondary education
opportunities for citizens in this region. The building currently houses Somerset Community
College- Clinton Center and is approximately 4 miles from Clinton County High School on Hwy
90, with Cumberland County High School being approximately 20 miles to the west and Wayne
County High School approximately 20 miles to the east of the existing facility. After speaking
with Adair, Russell, and Casey county superintendents, Clinton, Cumberland, and Wayne County
schools have decided to partner together due to Highway 90 allowing for easy travel between the
three counties along the southern border of the Cumberlands Workforce Development Area.
1.b The existing building has the capacity to house the Clinton County Area Technology
Center who would serve Clinton, Cumberland, and Wayne County students in addition to the
current Somerset Community College LPN and Cosmetology programs being offered. By
Clinton County BOE acquiring the building and moving the Area Technology Center into the
existing building, additional high school students would have the opportunity to attend and to
complete accelerated pathways that would grant post-secondary credentials prior to high school
graduation. High School students would take some courses as dual credit and some courses they
would take with Somerset Community College faculty. Transferring all ATC program equipment
to the new building along with existing ATC teachers, secondary and post-secondary training
opportunities in Health Sciences, Advanced Manufacturing, Business, Information Technology,
Automotive, and Construction would be offered immediately without the cost of buying
equipment and hiring additional faculty for new program start-up. Somerset Community College
is in agreement to hire additional faculty if enrollment supports the need. This facility would
provide secondary and post-secondary training for the top five South Region high-demand
industry sectors.
1.c Cumberland, Clinton, and Wayne County High Schools Clinton see this as an
opportunity to enhance the technical training for high school students by offering accelerated
pathways with seamless transition plans that end with post-secondary credentials including
certifications, diplomas, or associates degree. The three districts serve over 2000 high school
students, with these students being the future workforce for this area. Clinton, Cumberland, and
Wayne counties strive to be Work Ready Communities by 2020; thus, Clinton County BOE,
Somerset Community College, Cumberland BOE and Wayne BOE are committed to designing
and implementing plans of study for each of the 5 priority sectors that span across 9th-14
th grade,
providing accelerated and seamless completion of an associate degrees and/or industry
recognized credentials.
1.d The facility Clinton County BOE seeks to acquire was built 15 years ago. CMTA
Engineering Firm completed a site review and assured the building was in excellent operating
condition and very well maintained. There are 20 classrooms, state-of-the-art fully equipped
biology and chemistry labs, and four large industrial shops that have never been used, but were
built with intentions to house programs such as Industrial Maintenance, Carpentry, Automotive,
and Welding. Contingent upon receiving the grant, Somerset Community College will remain in
the building and continue to offer the LPN and Cosmetology Programs with SCC providing
funding for additional faculty contingent upon enrollment for Industrial Maintenance, Nursing,
Welding, Carpentry, Automotive, and Business.
1.e This application fits the workforce training model the Work Ready Skills Initiative
committee is seeking, with Clinton County Area Technology Center, multiple surrounding high
schools, and Somerset Community College working together to enhance and expand secondary
and post-secondary educational opportunities for the Cumberlands Workforce Development Area.
The alignment of high school pathways and post-secondary pathways in addition to secondary
WRSI 2nd
Round Application Clinton County Board of Education

and post-secondary being housed in the same facility grants a seamless transition. Shared
resources and funding among partners will grant students career placement services to assure
skilled labor transitions into the workforce successfully.
The current ATC facility does not have the capacity to house additional students and/or
teachers and the condition of the building is beyond renovating. By leveraging resources and
strong partnerships between secondary, post-secondary, and business and industry, this plan
would increase the number of secondary and post-secondary career and technical programs to
include seven programs that address the five identified sectors in need of skilled labor. The
opportunity to house the Area Technology Center and Somerset Community College-Clinton
Center, along with the Kentucky Career Center and Adult Education would support local
initiatives toward Work Ready Communities by providing career and technical training services
that lead to a trained workforce for employers and productive citizens for communities in rural
Kentucky. Utilizing existing underutilized resources to establish a Regional College & Career
Academy within the Cumberlands Workforce Development Area would allow for immediate
return on investment.

Marketing will be a critical factor in determining the success of this project. After all, our
county could have the most wonderful facility and most advanced training in the state, but if few
people are aware of it, then its impact will be minimal. The newly-revamped Clinton County
ATC will employ a well-conceived public relations strategy with training rollouts and marketing
strategies to get our programs fully utilized.
Personal contact remains the most effective of all marketing tools. The Clinton County
School District will employ a Recruiter, who will make personal contact with prospective
students and employers on a regular basis. Duties will range from making presentations at
regional meetings to meeting individually with high school students. The Recruiter will be the
chief “cheerleader” for the new facility, conducting tours for interested parties and helping
students schedule dual credit classes. The Recruiter will be the living embodiment of the new
facility—easily accessible and full of information about exciting new career possibilities.
Even beyond the recruiter position, the ATC will have a marketing budget of $20,000 during
Year 1 (and $5,000 each year thereafter), with which to print publications and purchase various
WRSI 2nd

types of advertising. These funds will ensure that not only the local market in Clinton and
Cumberland Counties, but the entire region, is saturated with information regarding the ATC and
its expanded course offerings. It is our belief that the new ATC facility, because of its size and
location, is well-positioned to be a regional hub for workforce training. We will utilize
traditional media outlets to communicate to potential students both the convenience of the new
training opportunities offered by the ATC and increased employment options and wage increases
such training could bring them. Thus, the majority of the marketing budget will be spent getting
the information into media outlets across the region, as most of the local advertising can be done
inexpensively, as we have all local newspapers, radio stations, and cable outlet channels in both
Clinton and Cumberland Counties as partners in our effort.
To ensure the most effective use of the marketing budget, the ATC will institute a marketing
committee comprised of faculty members, employers, students, and community members, which
will develop and refine specific elements of the marketing strategy. Having input from each of
these key constituencies will ensure that the marketing plan is comprehensive in nature, focused
on exactly the right components, and geared toward local sensibilities. Although key elements of
the marketing strategy--such as logo development, branding, and scheduling of efforts--will be
left up to this committee, the general outline of the marketing plan that will be used for the next
four years has already been developed.
Although the marketing plan will begin generally in Year 1 (with a focus on the new
Academy, its hours, programs, etc.), subsequent years will see more specific, targeted campaigns
aimed at encouraging enrollment for targeted workforce sectors. Labor market analysis by the
Marketing Committee will help focus the message around key “hot button” topics among
prospective students and employers. Having an extensive marketing campaign targeted on key
WRSI 2nd
Round Application Clinton County Board of Education
70
industry sectors (e.g., IT certification) will enhance chances of increased enrollment even further.
There are also many number of unique communications channels in southcentral Kentucky to
disseminate information about the opportunities available at the ATC. Some examples of these
channels include bulletin boards, intranets, newsletters, company events, vendor fairs, etc. Our
goal is to get all the exposure we can to make sure that the Clinton County ATC is well-known
as a quality postsecondary provider throughout the region.
In addition to the use of traditional media outlets mentioned earlier, the marketing plan will
rely heavily on the use of digital and social media, tools that have heretofore been sorely lacking
to market workforce training in our area. Research has shown that ttoday’s average student has
been exposed to about 300,000 hours of digital information by the time they reach their 20's.
They are more tech savvy than any other generation before them, and when it comes to deciding
where they’ll get their higher education, many millennials are turning to the Internet for more
information on the best education for their desired careers. For the Clinton County ATC to stand
out amongst the vast array of information available online, our school will create a
comprehensive digital marketing platform that will help us to reach potential students in the right
place and at the right time.
Considering that the majority of people planning to enroll in vocational schools within the
next few years happen to be teenagers, social media is a breeding ground for student recruitment.
It’s essential for the Clinton County ATC to not only have a presence on social media platforms,
but to be consistently active on them.
According to the 2014 Social Admissions Report, 68% of students use social media to research
colleges and nearly ¾ of them find social media to be very influential in their decisions. The
Clinton County School District will provide the services of a social media specialist that will
WRSI 2nd
Round Application Clinton County Board of Education
71
share information about upcoming events, provide tips on how to study better, and post photos
showing what class experiences at the ATC are like. Facebook’s targeted ads can also help our
school better reach prospective students by getting posts directly in front of the demographics
most likely to be interested in specific programs. For example, our cosmetology program can
target ads to people ages 16-20 that live within 50 miles of the school and are interested in nail
polish brands like Essie and like the show Extreme Makeovers.
Another key element of the marketing plan involves an informative and highly accessible
website. According to the 2013 Pew Research Internet Project, 74 percent of teens say they use
their smartphones to access the Internet. In order to reach students wherever they are researching
potential secondary education, the Clinton County ATC will have mobile sites that auto adjust
based on screen size (mobile responsive), have clearly placed contact information that is easy to
click on, and links to areas on the site in which prospective students will be most interested.
Through our partnership with the local school districts, the Clinton County ATC will also
utilize texts and emails to provide prospective students with as much information as possible
about the school before they make their final decision about postsecondary training. According
to Hobsons International Student Survey, 97% of prospective students want to hear from
institutions weekly. Texts and emails (such as a monthly eNewsletter) that remind students
about upcoming events and highlight the school’s latest achievements can ensure that Clinton
County ATC stays in the forefront of the consciousness of high school juniors and seniors as a
viable postsecondary option. Utilizing information from the students’ Individual Learning Plans
will also mean that texts and emails can be even more personalized, targeting students based
upon the type of education and future training in which they plan to engage.
WRSI 2nd
Round Application Clinton County Board of Education
72
Yet another key element of our marketing plan will be to conduct free seminars and webinars
for schools and employers, giving prospective students an introduction to our facility and the
quality of training we offer. As a training provider, we can use seminars and webinars as a
natural extension of our expertise, providing a valuable service to companies and high schools.
For example, the Clinton County ATC could provide a webinar for all high school students on
key tips for resume writing or host an on-site seminar helping businesses meet newly-
implemented safety standards. These free “snippets” of training offer the perfect venue to
showcase what we are doing at the ATC, which gives prospective students (and employers)
tangible proof that our instructors and courses are of the highest quality.
Finally, building strong relationships with employers and school counselors is probably the
best, and most inexpensive, marketing tool available. When a student discusses postsecondary
options or when an employee asks about chances for advancement, counselors and employers
can point out the high-quality, convenient programs available at the Clinton County ATC.
Perhaps nothing will have a greater impact on getting the prospective student to make that initial
contact. Getting buy-in from these key individuals may not sound like marketing, but it is the
best possible way to “sell” our training programs. Getting employer and counselor buy-in means
that we must convince them not only to endorse our programs, but to actively promote them—
and in the case of some employers, possibly even require it.
College and career guidance and counseling programs at area high schools will be a critical
element in (1) helping students make more informed and better educational and career choices
and (2) marketing the programs available at the new Clinton County ATC. Among other things,
area counselors will provide students information on high school course offerings, career
options, the type of academic and occupational training needed to succeed in the workplace, and
WRSI 2nd
Round Application Clinton County Board of Education
73
postsecondary opportunities that are associated with their field of interest. Of course, the Clinton
County ATC Marketing Committee will ensure that each counselor receives an in-depth
presentation (including facility tour) of the many opportunities available at the ATC.
Professional brochures, flyers, and course catalogs will be available for each counselor to
distribute to students.
Based upon interviews with graduating seniors, many students are currently unaware of the
high demand and high wage associated with many of the vocational trades. Moreover, an
alarmingly high number of them have not considered vocational/technical training as a
postsecondary option. The Marketing Committee will provide a bounty of information to
counselors regarding the postsecondary options, regional job market, and anticipated wages of all
career pathways represented at the Clinton County ATC, hopefully encouraging greater numbers
of students to enroll in both secondary and postsecondary courses there.

Students in Clinton and Cumberland Counties will begin their career advising early, as each
school district will sponsor meetings with 8th
grade students to highlight career options, review
Individual Learning Plans (ILP’s), and help each child map a career pathway through high
school and beyond. Each high school’s SBDM council will be encouraged to pass a policy
requiring students to complete a career pathway as a prerequisite for graduation.
Additional activities where counselors will promote careers among secondary students include:
Advising students and parents on career pathways, high school programs and academic
curriculum, preparing them for postsecondary application and admission
Arranging dual credit opportunities in technical classes to help the student get a “leg up” on
postsecondary certifications/degrees.
Informing students about dual credit and postsecondary financing that can be used to
support advanced education and training.
Developing career portfolios, which include test and grades results, examples of student
work, and resumes and cover letters to prospective employers.
Arranging job shadowing, work placements, and community-based learning programs to
allow students to directly experience workplace situations.

Sponsoring workshops, classes, focus groups, and special presentations that focus on job
skills and personal development.
Providing specialized counseling and intervention services to provide students with
individualized attention.
Our high school counselors are key players in helping change the existing perception of skilled
labor careers. Unfortunately, many school professionals still subscribe to the “university for all”
approach to education. Therefore, changing false and/or negative perceptions begin with
educating these important stakeholders. After attending a series of workshops sponsored by the
ATC principal, area counselors will be prepared to shine a spotlight on the viability of skilled
labor careers offered at the ATC. They can promote an awareness of the realistic income and job
satisfaction these careers offer to workers. The counselors will also be important in
overcoming an incorrect assumption many students and parents have about skilled labor careers:
That they are dirty and/or unfulfilling and are simply jobs, not careers. This belief is based on
incorrect information about today’s job market and advancing facilities. Advances in technology
(which will be on full display at the new Clinton County ATC) have completely transformed the
nature of skilled labor careers. These careers can be (and in many situations are) much more
lucrative than many “respected” careers like teaching. Our school counselors are front-line
experts to help educate students, parents, and even other school personnel regarding these careers
in today’s job market.
By building extensive relationships with high school counselors, the ATC staff will be able to
increase enrollment and put many more students on the path to high wage, high demand skilled
labor careers. With enhanced knowledge, higher motivation, and materials provided by the ATC
Marketing Committee, the high school counselors will be able to educate students and parents
about the many lucrative career options available “right here at home.”

F.3 Plan to Promote Student Engagement via Student Organization & Extra-curricular
Activities (e.g. KOSSA)
A plethora of research, such as that by Lamborn et al. (1992) and Finn (2003) suggests that
participation in extracurricular activities increases students' sense of engagement or attachment
to their school, and thereby decreases the likelihood of school failure and dropping out. Thus, it
is incumbent upon schools (including ATC’s) to offer their students a wide range of
extracurricular activities and student organizations in which to participate, thereby increasing
their engagement and future success in school.
The Clinton County ATC will encourage all students to participate in student organizations,
such as Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) and Future Business Leaders of
America (FBLA). Additionally, students will be encouraged to participate in Work Skills USA,
which provides educational programs, events and competitions that support career and technical
education (CTE) in the nation’s classrooms. These activities will offer opportunities for students
to learn the values of teamwork, individual and group responsibility, competition, diversity, and
a sense of culture and community. The many extracurricular activities provided through these
organizations offer a channel for reinforcing the lessons learned in the classroom, offering
students the opportunity to apply academic skills in a real-world context, thus making the
classroom content immediately more relevant.
Mahoney and Cairns (1997) looked at the positive connection to school that participating in
extracurricular activities created among students whose prior commitment to the school had been
marginal. They discovered that a wider choice of activities resulted in a stronger effect because
students' individual needs and interests were more likely to be met. Thus, we plan to continue
encouraging all students to participate in one or more of these valuable organizations and even
offering an additional choice--the Technology Student Association (TSA), which is devoted
WRSI 2nd
Round Application Clinton County Board of Education
77
exclusively to the needs of students who are presently enrolled in, or have completed, technology
education courses.
Students participating in any of these extracurricular activities have the opportunity to earn
positive recognition for their participation in skills-based competitions. In fact, the Clinton
County ATC has a strong history of student success (on both the state and national level) in
HOSA, FBLA, and Skills USA competitions. Students feel both a personal and a communal
sense of pride in their accomplishments through these organizations.
Clinton County ATC will continue to provide numerous opportunities for students to
participate in extracurricular activities besides the student organizations and structured
competitions. For example, students engage in community service projects, building bookcases
for elementary classrooms or putting together bicycles for a local giveaway. ATC students
participate in job shadowing, apprenticeships, and serve as ambassadors and mentors for other
students. Research (e.g., Jordan and Nettles, 2009) has proven that adolescents who are engaged
in structured extracurricular activities supervised by positive adult role models are more likely to
make a personal investment in their schooling that will result in classroom achievement.
Therefore, the Clinton County ATC will continue, and even expand, its commitment to
extracurricular activities, because they are so vital to connect students more deeply to our school,
help them develop their career-specific skills, and facilitate future academic success.

G.2 Recruiting Plan for Credentialed Teachers & Adjunct Faculty
Recruiting and retaining high-quality CTE teachers will be vital for student success. The
local board of education, the Area Technology Center, and Somerset Community College will
work with partners to recruit teachers and faculty. The ATC has been very successful in
retaining teachers and all teachers at the ATC are adjunct instructors with credentials in place
with Somerset Community College. Somerset Community College will have the option to utilize
the ATC staff; however, they Somerset may have staff established that may be willing to relocate
or take on additional evening classes.
G.3 Responsibility for Project Facility Maintenance
Clinton County Board of Educatin will be responsible for facility maintenance and
upkeep. Somerset Community College will share in janitorial services and utility cost as agreed
upon between the BOE and SCC. Once CMTA Engineering Firm completed a site review and
assured the building was in excellent operating condition and very well maintained, Clinton
County Board of Education agreed the board would be responsible for the upkeep and
maintenance of the proposed facility. Once Clinton County Board of Education acquires the
building they plan to invest in upgrading the existing lighting and controls of the facility to
significantly decrease the long-term operational cost. Clinton County Board of Education will
own the fixed assets and equipment that is currently in the SCC-Clinton Center facility. The
Area Technology Center will remain owners of equipment and furnishings that they transfer to

SECTION H – PROPOSED FACILITY STUDY
H.1 Explanation of Decision to Pursue Purchase of Existing Building
Attachment G (3) Clinton County Engineering Review 9/28/16 A site review and facility walk thru took place on 9/28/16. The purpose of the visit was to observe the existing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, security and telecommunications infrastructure and assess its current condition. The following is a summary of the items observed: 1. Building is served via exterior pad mounted transformer delivering 277/480 volts 3-Phase 4 Wire Wye power
distribution to the main service entrance via underground feeders. Primary service to the pad mounted transformer is delivered underground. This power service scenario should minimize any potential power outages which are more common via overhead delivery scenarios.
2. Site lighting is adequate and largely accomplished with exterior pole mounted fixtures and floods with
entrances and egress areas covered via wall mounted fixtures. Interior building lighting is accomplished via T8 fluorescent and multilamp compact fluorescent with some occupancy sensors.
3. Interior power distribution is robust with intensive flexibility throughout. This is accomplished with an
abundance of branch panelboards located throughout the traditional instruction spaces and extensive overhead buss-duct in the flexible lab/shop spaces. Power quality is addressed largely with TVSS at the main distribution panel and then closer to the loads with integral TVSS devices at the panelboards.
4. HVAC systems are accomplished utilizing water source heat pumps with electric boiler and exterior ground
mounted drain back cooling tower. The building is equipped with internet accessible Building Automation System with individual zone thermostats. Shop areas are fully conditioned via heating and cooling as well as extensive exhaust and dust collection appropriate for the spaces.
5. Domestic water, fire protection and sanitary is connected to local municipality utility systems and is reported as
adequate. 6. Low voltage systems such as fire alarm, telecommunications, security and intercom all appeared robust and
completely functional. Site observations of this facility constructed in 2004 indicate a very well maintained facility with all systems in excellent operating condition. Large components of the existing HVAC like the boiler and cooling tower have an expected life of approximately 20-25 years with the HVAC wshp units having life expectancy of approximately 15 years. I would have no reservations recommending this facility for acquisition. End of report. Respectfully submitted, David R. Higgins, II Principal CMTA
