2421 - VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM

The Board of Education recognizes that not all students wish to stay involved in formal education beyond high school and must, therefore, be prepared to enter the labor force as productive workers.

For purposes of this policy, "vocational education" shall be defined as a program designed to provide educational experiences and guidance for students to plan and prepare for a future:

 A.in the labor market as employable individuals immediately after graduation with productive, saleable skills;

 B.in education beyond high school with the opportunity to gain a marketable job skill(s) that will assist them in achieving career goals.

The Board shall provide, in cooperation with technical colleges and CESA’s, a vocational education program which shall include:

 A.Industrial-Technical Education;

 B.Agricultural Education;

 C.Family and Consumer Education;

 D.Business Education.

The vocational education program may also include a shared-time program outside of school or a work-study program involving the employment of qualified students.

The work study programs are available to students without regard for race; religion; pregnancy; marital or parental status; gender or gender orientation; color; national origin; ancestry; creed; physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability; or age. The District Administrator is to ensure that application forms for work-study programs contain a notice of nondiscrimination and that each employer associated with a work-study program has provided assurance of nondiscrimination on the basis of race; religion; ancestry; creed; color; pregnancy; marital or parental status; gender or gender orientation; physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability; national origin; and age prior to the time the students are selected and/or assigned.
