Establishes four-year Career and Technical Education Partnership Grant Program.
This bill establishes a four-year grant program to fund partnerships between eligible New Jersey school districts and entities like county colleges or urban districts for career and technical education (CTE) programs. It directly affects county vocational school districts and other school districts operating approved CTE programs, allowing them to partner with others to create new CTE programs in existing facilities not owned by the applicant. Key provisions require applicants to detail partnership roles, employer involvement, student capacity, facility suitability, and post-grant sustainability plans, with grants awarded based on available state funds. The program mandates a four-year progress report to the governor and legislature, including outcomes and recommendations for permanent funding.
