CTE Program Update 2013-14

Fri, 16 Aug 2013 21:21:00 GMT

The CTE Program Update is the required annual method for high schools and CTE Regional Coordinators to reconcile local and state records concerning details of every state approved CTE Program. This is the time to propose revisions/updates to the CTE programs offered in the 2013-14 academic year. Every approved CTE program must be reviewed and submitted by schools to their CTE Regional Coordinator and then to ODE even if no changes are necessary.
