Why 2/5: The first review and report are scheduled to begin in 2026, making the immediate impact on the audience less urgent.
This bill establishes a new process for the Board of Education and other state agencies to biennially review all career and technical education (CTE) courses and credentials offered to public school students. These reviews, starting in 2026, will ensure CTE programs align with current workforce demands and effectively prepare students for postsecondary success in employment, higher education, or military service.
