Why 2/5: The first biennial review and report are not due until 2026, indicating a future operational change rather than an immediate legislative or public action.
The Board of Education will begin biennial reviews in 2026 to ensure all career and technical education (CTE) courses and credentials offered to public school students align with current workforce demands. This process aims to better prepare students for employment, higher education, or military service by ensuring CTE programs are relevant and effective.
