Local Plan for Career and Technical Education |
The local plan for Career and Technical Education is
being made available to you earlier than usual this year. The change is to enable you to have
additional time for planning, developing, and approving the plan with the
representatives required by the Standards of Quality, as amended by Senate Bill
334 of 2002 and the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of
1998. We hope the extra time will aid
you in meeting the due date of May 7.
To introduce the revised Career and Technical
Education Plan for 2004-05, James A. Gray, Jr., associate director, Office of
Career and Technical Education Services, will make a presentation at each of
the upcoming Career and Technical Education administrators regional meetings. The presentation will include an overview of
the plan as well as a description of any changes in the plan.
