This bill amends the reporting requirements for the New Hampshire advisory council on career and technical education by repealing and reenacting RSA 188-E:10-b, VI(b). The new language specifies that the annual report must now include detailed information about the current state of career and technical education at the secondary level in New Hampshire. Key areas to be addressed in the report include the status of the delivery system for career and technical education, strategies to enhance access to these programs, opportunities for partnerships between businesses and educational institutions, the implementation of individual learning plans starting in grade 6, and identification of barriers that limit access to career and technical education for interested students.
The bill emphasizes a comprehensive approach to evaluating and improving career and technical education in the state, ensuring that the advisory council provides a thorough analysis of the existing conditions and potential improvements. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
