⚖️ Growing the Network: Law & Public Service PLC

We were excited to kick off the inaugural Region 5 Law & Public Service PLC! With four other CTE career cluster PLCs already bringing educators together across the region, we were thrilled to add Law & Public Service to the lineup—and we certainly kicked things off with a bang! 🎉

Our first meeting brought educators together to **collaborate, share ideas and resources, discuss their programs, and begin building a strong network of Law & Public Service teachers across Region 5.

A special thank you to Nederland High School for hosting us and truly rolling out the red carpet! Their Culinary Arts program did an outstanding job providing breakfast and lunch for our group, and we also had the opportunity to tour Nederland High School’s fantastic CTE facilities. We greatly appreciate their hospitality and support in making our first PLC a success! 👏

📣 Do you teach in a Law & Public Service program of study? We’d love to have you join us!

Whether you teach Law Enforcement, Legal Studies, or another program within the Law & Public Service cluster, there’s a seat at the table for you.
