Metsger Proposes Block Grants for Vocational and Technical Education
Program Preserves Local Control while Increasing Accountability
SALEM - After hearing from teachers, community college professors, business leaders, and constituents, Sen. Rick Metsger (D-Mt. Hood) has asked the Senate Commission on Educational Excellence to add "vocational and technical education" to the list of programs that would be eligible for funding through the commission's proposed Accountability Block Grant program.
In a letter sent to commission members earlier today, Metsger explained that inadequate funding of vocational and technical education has led to a situation where "too many employers are having difficulty finding workers who have the necessary training for good-paying trade and manufacturing jobs."
The commission's Accountability Block Grant proposal would allow school districts to prioritize funding for programs that best fit their community and would require districts to meet performance standards for the programs they choose to fund.
"Programs that train students for skilled jobs in our communities should be eligible for these valuable grants, and they should be held to a high standard," said Metsger. "If we are serious about preparing all our students for the future, we cannot afford to overlook the need for first-rate vocational and technical education."
