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 shall provide, in cooperation with the Erie-Huron-Ottawa Vocational Education Career Center a career-technical education program that includes workforce development programs.
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 work-study program involving the employment of qualified students; | |
| Work-study programs are available to students without regard for race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. 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 race, color, national origin, sex, age, and disability prior to the time the students are selected and/or assigned. | ||
| B. | Career Based Intervention for students ages 12-21 inclusively in grades 7-12 who are identified as disadvantaged (either academically or economically or both) and who have barriers to achieving academic and career success. |
Program accountability shall be maintained within a performance system that focuses on student academic proficiency, technical proficiency, high school graduation, and post-program placement.
