Weaver Academy will operate on a half-day concept for career/technical students during the 2007-2008 school year. Students who take a career/technical course at Weaver will be paired with another career/technical course to assist them in becoming college tech prep completers and/or to assist students with transportation needs. Although the intent is to pair each student with another career/technical course, academic courses may be substitute. The pairings will be coordinated through each high school counseling office.
