CTE Local Plan Gets ‘Thumbs Up’
The Board approved the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Local Plan for 2012-2013. The strategic plan, which is ultimately an application for federal funding, highlights the program’s services and activities, service area, partnerships, and customer and stakeholder groups. The Plan looks at how CTE will be evaluated based on the  program’s performance indicators. To review the 127-page document, visit the CTE Web page and click on Local Plan.
