Community College | The bill requires the office of the superintendent of public instruction (OSPI) to develop a re-approval schedule for all career and technical education (CTE) programs and must establish performance measures and targets for CTE programs in specified areas. Districts failing to meet the targets may be required to submit an improvement plan. The superintendent, in coordination with other groups, must develop a list of statewide high-demand secondary CTE programs.
OSPI is also directed to allocate grants to middle schools, high schools or skill centers to develop or upgrade high-demand CTE programs. Grants are allocated on a one-time basis and may only be used for certain purposes. OSPI, in coordination with other groups, must develop model programs in the areas of construction, health care and information technology. The superintendent is authorized to distribute grants to districts to increase the integration and rigor of academic instruction in CTE programs.
Community and technical colleges are required to enter into agreements with high schools and skill centers to offer dual credit for secondary career and technical courses. The agreements are subject to the approval of the colleges' chief instructional officers of the college and the principal and technical education director of the high school. If agreements are entered into, all community and technical colleges must accept courses taken for an equal amount of college credit. OSPI must support district efforts to adopt course equivalencies for CTE courses by recommending curriculum suitable for course equivalencies, publicizing best practices for high schools and districts, providing professional development, technical assistance and guidance for districts seeking to expand their lists of equivalent courses.
High schools and districts must issue and keep record of course completion certificates that demonstrate successful CTE course completion. The certificate must be either part of the student's high school and beyond plan or the students culminating project. OSPI must develop and make available electronic copies of the certificates.
Skill centers may enter into agreements with school districts to grant high school diplomas to enable students to attend the skill centers on a full-time basis without co-enrollment at the high school. These programs must be designed as dropout prevention and retrieval programs for at-risk, credit-deficient and fifth-year students. Building Bridges grants may be used to develop these programs.
Subject to appropriation of funds, OSPI must develop and conduct a campaign for CTE to increase awareness among educators, students, parents and the community. Messages must emphasize CTE as a high quality educational pathway. OSPI must provide information about the following: 1. Model CTE programs; 2. CTE course equivalencies and dual credit for high school and college; 3. CTE alternative assessment guidelines; 4. The availability of scholarships for postsecondary workforce education; and, 5. education, apprenticeship and career opportunities in emerging and high-demand programs. Also, subject to appropriated funds, OSPI is directed to provide grants to eligible students to offset costs of required examination or testing fees associated with obtaining state or industry certification in the student's CTE program. Eligible students must have a family income that is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level.
Skill centers may enter into agreements with community or technical colleges located in the same district to provide CTE courses necessary to complete an industry certificate or credential for students who have received a high school diploma. To qualify, students must have been enrolled in the skill center before receiving the high school diploma and must remain continuously enrolled in the skill center. Students may only enroll in the courses necessary to complete the certificate or credential.
OSPI must conduct a feasibility study to create technical high schools in the state. The office must convene an advisory committee that includes representatives from the schools, districts, colleges and boards. The study must examine and make recommendations on the definition of a technical high school and how they differ from current comprehensive high schools, the governance structure for technical high schools, funding models and estimated costs to support technical high schools, whether these schools should focus on particular student populations or be structured as magnet schools with a specific focus, whether the schools should operate with a two-year or four-year program or with part-time or full-time attendance, the implications of accountability for student achievement and options, strategies and estimated costs for transition of current high schools and skill centers to a technical school model.
