Fayette to add health science, culinary classes

The Fayette County Board of Education voted 5-0 Monday to expand its Career, Technology and Agricultural Education program to include more health science and culinary arts classes. CTAE administrators and teachers told the board that more than 2,500 students have expressed interest in these career pathways, but the county does not currently have the means to accommodate them. Superintendent Jody Barrow supported the plan, which would likely include using the professional kitchen at the former Fayette Intermediate School as well as local hospital space for higher-level students.
