CTE is the best program the state has to offer. The rest of the department of education could take note of how this program became so successful.

CTE is an imperative part of teaching Arizona's students job and college skills. Without CTE we wouldn't have funding for electives like Wood Shop, Medical Terminology, Early Childhood Education, Criminal Justice, Photography, Fire Science, Business Management and Administrative Services, Automotive, and etc. Our kids need this.

Arizona students should have every opportunity to study subjects they are passionate about. CTE education incorporates those subjects for far more than half of our students. The very idea that this funding is on the block is incredibly short sighted. Please do not let this be another example of Arizona legislation pulling the rug out from under our student's future.

This program helped me determine my major and made my highschool experience amazing. Without CTE programs I would not be in college right now or know that I want to be teacher. Taking this program away would be taking away the next generations future.

I believe this form of education to be even more important than a 4 year college degree.

CTE is extremely important to the future of our nation. We, as a nation, have a shortage of skilled tradesmen and women and will continue to decline if we don't do something to help. If like living indoors, having a running car, power ect. then we need programs like CTE.

CTE programs provide student driven instruction, hands on, relevant application and real life experiences for all the students enrolled! Studies show students enrolled in CTE classes score higher in achievement testing! It's a win win! CTE provide focus and motivation for many students. It's the reason they come to school each day. Many high schools offer dual enrollment college credit for some of their CTE programs!

Arizona has cut ENOUGH from education - especially CTE programs with proven real-world results. This is not a smart move for our future as a state, and I will vote against anyone who supports this legislation. And I vote in EVERY election.

If you want to cut funding, cut funding for liberal arts. CTE puts people to work.

Free technical education should be WAY more important in public schools, especially because it's ludicrous to believe that 80 percent of our school-age children won't be able to support themselves because they aren't prepared with skills enough to be hired.

Every child needs a chance to become the adult they want. Give education money back!
