Establishes four-year Career and Technical Education Partnership Grant Program.
This bill creates a four-year grant program to fund partnerships between career-focused schools and other entities like urban districts, colleges, and employers. It directly affects county vocational school districts and other schools with approved career and technical education (CTE) programs, allowing them to apply for grants to develop new CTE programs in existing facilities they don’t own or lease. Grant applicants must detail partnership plans, student capacity, facility suitability, costs, and sustainability strategies, with the state determining grant amounts. The program requires a final report to state leaders after four years, evaluating outcomes and recommending permanent funding.
