I would like to suggest a revision of the BPACE vision to read
In a culture of high expectations and academic rigor and an environment of support, understanding, and emotional safety, all BPACE students will be prepared with the relevant skills, knowledge, and personal attributes necessary for success in career and as productive community members; and our high school students will graduate with a valued and highly respected diploma and be prepared for success in higher education.

One area I think we should address is our students' online learning, whether distance learning, online courses or other uses of the internet, this is an area we have not included in our offerings. Our students will need to know how to access, manipulate and succeed in this online world.

There is a typo in the Vision Statement. The word in is typed twice.

There is a typo in the Vision Statement, the word in is typed twice.
My suggestions are: (1) Not to create a student handbook. Chances are the percentage of students reading this would be low. Creating an orientation package is sufficient. (2) Schedule orientation tours (possibly twice if not more) per semester.
I believe 90 percent of our students come and go not knowing the vast resources available to them such as; Counseling, Library, Job Development office, etc. I think it's very important for them to walk around and view other courses available to expand their goals or achieve them.
