RE:	Application for State/Federal Funding of Career and Technical Education

The Guilford County Schools application for state/federal funding of Career and Technical Education programs for fiscal year 2008-09 will be submitted to the State Department of Public Instruction upon approval by the full board at the June 10 meeting. The application entitled, “Career-Technical Education Local Planning System” is 104 pages. Therefore, directions for accessing the document online are listed below.

In the Improvement Plan, data for Performance Indicators 1-8 will be populated in the plan by SDPI after CTE end-of-year post-test assessments, and other end-of-year information has been uploaded to the state by local school districts. Local school districts are required to submit their approved plans to the state by May 23. We have been granted permission to submit our plan on June 11. Because of the time line, we are asking that this plan be approved as part of the consent agenda.
