Input sought on draft plan to meet federal career and technical education law
The Iowa Department of Education is holding three public input meetings
on Thursday, Feb. 6 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Cedar Rapids, Council
Bluffs and Johnston to gather feedback on the draft of Iowa's state plan
for meeting requirements of the federal Strengthening Career and
Technical Education for the 21st Century Act.
Commonly
referred to as Perkins V, the federal law reauthorizes the Carl D.
Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006, which provides
support for career and technical education (CTE) programs in all 50
states and U.S. territories. CTE programs increase student engagement
through the integration of technical and academic skills in hands-on,
real-world learning experiences.
Those unable to attend a public meeting in person can view the Heartland AEA meeting location via ZOOM. Iowans can also submit questions and feedback by completing online surveys about the draft plan and performance targets.
