Kathryn Newport adds a health and medical career teaching position

What happened

The board approved a middle-school health and medical career teacher funded by the K–12 Strong Workforce program.

Why it matters to families

Students gain an earlier introduction to health careers and a connection to later high-school pathways.

The evidence

Officials said the partnership brings approximately $750,000 to Menifee and about $500,000 to Perris Union High School District. The July vote authorizes the teaching position, not a new high school.
