Massachusetts regulations (603 CMR 4.00) require all sending districts to maintain a Middle School Pathway Exploration Policy that ensures students are aware of, and have opportunities to explore, career technical education (CTE) pathways available to them in district, regional, and agricultural high schools. The Public Schools of Brookline has a relationship with Norfolk County Agricultural High School. The Public Schools of Brookline (PSB) is committed to ensuring that all middle school students have equitable access to exploration of high school options, including CTE programs, and that this exploration is integrated into each student’s academic and career planning

The Public Schools of Brookline strives to:

● Ensure that every middle school student gains awareness of multiple career pathways, including CTE, college preparatory, and other secondary school options.

● Provide equitable, bias-free exposure to CTE programs for all students, including students with disabilities, English Learners, and students experiencing homelessness.

● Reduce barriers to accessing CTE information by providing multiple modalities of communication (in-person, online, virtual sessions, print materials).

In accordance with 603 CMR 4.03(6), PSB will also provide the names and addresses of all 7th and 8th-grade students to Norfolk County Agricultural High School no later than October 15 of each school year, unless a parent or guardian has opted out of directory information release under FERPA.
