An act relating to career and technical education

This bill modifies Vermont's career and technical education system by changing how school districts are charged tuition based on student enrollment, requiring career exposure for younger students, and shifting oversight from the State Board of Education to the Secretary of Education. It mandates that students in grades six through eight visit CTE centers annually, ensures middle and high school students have access to career exploration courses, and requires local unions to adopt comprehensive career development policies aligned with state models. The legislation also establishes a timeline for developing these policies, includes CTE facilities in state construction aid updates, and creates accountability measures for districts that fail to comply with new requirements.
