Save CTE Funding

We need CTE classes! I learned more in CTE classes than in normal classes and it has helped way more in real life after high school.

I attended the veterinary assisting program and they offer no less than the best education. CAVIT gave me an oppertunity no one else could of.

When it comes to a career, not all young people want to be doctors or business executors. We America need machinist, mechanics, carpenters, plumbers, AC. people. And all of the trade people to help in everyday life. Where does it start in? High school, in trade school, and the like.

CTE is so very important for students and our economy.

Save our Teachers

I support this 100%.

The cost to the state in terms of lost productivity for cutting these programs is far greater than what would be gained by the cut. I may be retired but, for years, I have seen with my own eyes how valuable these programs are to students.

This program is such a great opportunity for students. It is needed. Please don't take away a good thing that benefits students & schools alike.

Restore CTE funding.

Please restore JTED funding to the original amount.

I support this cause!

Arizona Career & Technical Edu. in our public schools produces H.S. graduates w/skills and trades to make them immediately employable and productive AZ citizens! Not everyone is 'ready' for college upon high school graduation, and some are never college material, but CTE gives them viable options!

Arizona Career and Technical education for public school students is imperative for our young people and our state's economy. Many skilled trades, career and technical positions are filled with these high school graduates, and Arizona is already lacking in this. Please do not let this funding cut occur and ruin many of our young people's careers in Arizona.

We need funding for this program!!

CTE- Has helped so many students find their niche in the world. C.T.E. introduces students to real world trades and professions.

CTE is the Arizona taxpayers' best bang for the buck! Arizona's economy is still in the toilet! Let's at least build a skilled workforce, though career and technical education!

Now is the time to fund JTED's with essential state CTE dollars. If not, you're inhibiting the students options for their future careers and college education. These are our future community leaders, employees, employers, managers, ect. Don't strip away our kids future and limit their ability to grow in hard and soft skills that is essential for these future leaders. It is imperative that JTED funding is reinstated ASAP for the above reasons! Please reconsider this action!

I strongly support funding for CTE and believe in the difference this makes for students and our future economy.

Keep the CTE funding!

CTE funding is a vital investment. Any cut would COST greatly in so many ways. CTE Programs train student to be proficient in vital skills to contribute to society. Also, that is where creativity and science come together for important and essential innovations, inventions, and discoveries. CTE should be expanded!!! NOT cut!
