2421 - CAREER-TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Board of Education recognizes that career-technical education is a viable program component for students.
For purposes of this policy, "career-technical education" shall be defined as programs and services (formerly known as vocational education) that prepare students:
| A. | for careers and continued education; | |
| B. | for entry in the labor market as employable individuals immediately after graduation with productive, saleable skills; | |
| C. | to pursue education beyond high school with the opportunity to gain a marketable job skill(s) that will assist them in achieving career goals; | |
| D. | to participate successfully in the world of work while continuing their education in order to help offset higher education expenses. |
The Board directs that any efforts to recruit students to participate in a particular vocational program must include literature and comparable recruitment efforts for students with disabilities in a format and context in which they communicate.
The career-technical education program may also include:
| A. | a shared-time program outside of school; | |
| B. | a work-study program involving the employment of qualified students. | |
| Work-study programs are available to students without regard for religion, race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, military status, sexual orientation, or ancestry. The application forms for work-study programs shall contain a notice of nondiscrimination and each employer associated with a work-study program must provided annual written assurance of nondiscrimination on the basis of religion, race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, military status, sexual orientation, and ancestry prior to the time the students are selected and/or assigned. |
Program accountability shall be maintained within a performance system that focuses on student academic proficiency, technical proficiency, high school graduation, and post-program placement.
