  1. HB5 & The Possibilities It Will Provide to Districts Like Sweeny ISD Best piece of education legislation passed (possibly ever). • Industry • Parents (TAMSA) • Educators

  2. Discussions started prior to legislative session with our Brazoria County Superintendents throughout Region4. • Allows students to become career ready, as well as college ready. • In our area, there is a definite need for a skilled workforce. • Realization that students could make a good living working in the industrial plants in our area and throughout the state.

  3. Expansions at our local plants, as well as legislation, provided the opportunity to create a partnership between Sweeny ISD, Phillips 66, Chevron Phillips, & Brazosport College. • As part of our 313 Agreement – Created the Phillips 66/Chevron Phillips Petrochemical Academy.

  4. Continued • Worked with Brazosport College to do a facilities needs assessment (equipment & supplies) . • Developing Programs in: • Process Technology • Instrumentation • Millwright • Pipefitter • Welding • Students work toward an associates degree or certification.

  5. Benefit of offering these classes during the school day: • Reduce or eliminate travel time to the college • Allow students involved in extracurricular activities to participate • Through scholarships being offered to our students, those who thought it was impossible to go to college now have a chance • Goal: To produce the companies next workforce • The Academy will be open to all students in our area.

  6. I believe it is a win-win for students of our district and the two companies, Phillips 66 and Chevron Phillips who are supporting the Petrochemical Academy! -Randy Miksch
