Save the Date: Secondary Career and Technical Education (CTE) Initial Redesign Meeting

The initial planning meeting for the Heartland AEA Regional Career and Technical Education Partnership will be held on Jan. 6, 2017 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm at the DMACC Ankeny Campus (Building 5, Rooms 1240 E,D,F,G). All superintendents (or designee) are strongly encouraged to attend.

The partnership is being formed as required by HF 2392 in the Iowa Code to assist school districts in providing an effective, efficient and economical means of delivering high-quality secondary career and technical education programs.

During the initial meeting, an interim partnership will establish by-laws governing the group (e.g., committees, how it makes decisions, how the work is done, fiscal agent, etc.). View the draft template for the regional partnership bylaws.

• The longer-term purpose and function of the partnership includes the development of a multi-year plan. The plan is required to address:
• The processes and procedures by which all secondary CTE programs within the region will meet the state-developed program approval process
• The feasibility of developing centers within and across the regions to improve access to high-quality CTE and concurrent enrollment opportunities for all students

Developing a budget for the state vocational dollars assigned to the regional partnership that is tied to the multi-year plan
