The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding career technical education (CTE) by allowing career technical education districts (CTEDs) to enter into intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) with public universities, in addition to community college districts (CCDs). Under the new provisions, a CTED can only enter into an IGA with a university if the CCD in the same county is unable to offer the relevant CTE course or program for the upcoming school year. This determination is made based on specific notification requirements and timelines between the CTED and the CCD.

Additionally, the bill applies existing IGA and funding calculation requirements for agreements between CTEDs and CCDs to those between CTEDs and public universities. It also mandates that the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) enter into IGAs with CTEDs when deemed beneficial for the state, and allows ABOR to delegate this responsibility to its committees or university presidents. The bill includes technical changes and clarifications to ensure consistency in the application of these provisions across educational entities.
