Not every student is necessarily college-bound. CTE and JTED programs give all students opportunities for success regardless of academic inclination. It is imperative that funding for these programs be not only maintained, but boosted as well.

Career and tech edu. Is more important than you realize. Not everyone is college material. My husband is a bricklayer and I'm a cosmetologist. Neither one of us went to college we both have great careers . This state needs more hands on jobs taught to our young people

The most vital issue for companies wanting to open in Arizona is lack of a skilled labor force. The CTE programs especially at high schools enable students that would not be candidates for community colleges or regional JTED facilities. They do not accept those with IEP or 504 plans, They are blatantly discriminated against in these programs. Every one needs an opportunity regardless of ability. High School CTE programs are better adapted to meet the needs of all students. If this funding cut remains, the first victims will be High School programs and the only way some students have to succeed. It is very important to realize that this cut to school budgets is poorly thought out and the results will cost this great state far more than the amount of so called savings. Please make your voice heard by contacting your legislative representative and encourage them to roll back this budget cut.

Very important to save these programs. Extremely disappointing that Arizona is dealing with this & unable to focus on planning for next school year.

Career and Technical Education funding is a vital component in providing opportunities for students as a component of workforce development. It also allows students to build the necessary skills to be successful at post secondary institutions regardless of if those institutions are technically related, two year, or four year institutions. Also, CTE programs help to develop a student's leadership skills as well as their workplace employability skills.

Just when something is working-the legislators forget why they are there. It isn't to remove CTE funding.

Students must come out of high school prepared to enter the work force. There are many high paying professions which do not require a college education. Every year we hear about thousands of college graduates who cannot find jobs because they are not prepared for the right professions. Some of the highest paying jobs are electricians, plumbers, etc CTE high school courses prepare students to step right into these jobs without incurring enormously loans. We will always need these skilled workers.

As superintendent of the Maricopa Unified School District I know that this cut will greatly reduce the educational opportunities for our students at Maricopa High School.
