As president of IACTED this year and a part of the executive committee, we have worked hard to place ourselves at the table with the legislators who are writing bills related to CTE.  This year we have been invited to be a part of the conversation and planning.  It is important wee get involved to help guide the direction of CTE in Indiana.  Today we met with policy makers to discuss one bill that will potentially be presented in the House.

Our annual state reporting for all high school CTE courses was completed at the end of October.  Area 37 including our nine high schools did very well and increased funding for the schools by over $1.5 million.

The next board meeting on December 8th will also include our fist potential student open house immediately before our meeting from 5:30-7:00.
