2421 - CAREER AND 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, "career and technical 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; | |
| C. | in the world of work while continuing their education in order to help offset higher education expenses. |
The Board shall provide, in cooperation with Lakeshore Technical College, a career and technical education program which shall include:
| A. | Industrial-Technical Education; | |
| B. | Agricultural Education; | |
| C. | Family and Consumer Education; | |
| D. | Business Education. |
The Board directs that any efforts to recruit students to participate in a particular career and technical education program must include literature and comparable recruitment efforts for students with disabilities in a format and context in which they can communicate.
The career and 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. |
The programs are available to students without regard to race; color, religion, national origin, ancestry, creed, pregnancy, marital status, parental status, sexual orientation, sex, (including transgender status, change of sex or gender identity), or physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability ("Protected Classes"). 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 based on the Protected Classes prior to the time the students are selected and/or assigned.
