CTE Proposed Legislation for 2007
CTE Teachers Needed!
We are in the process of proposing legislation for the 2007 Oregon Legislature. We will count on you to contact your local lawmakers to support the proposal to make sure lawmakers have an opportunity to review the importance of CTE in Oregon. Our proposal asks for funding to support an in-depth study of the numerous best practices in Oregon and around the nation, hopefully leading to additional funding and support for all of our programs and students.
Additional information will soon be coming your way via this blog. It is a great time to ask for the needed dollars to expand and support our programs. Washington state lawmakers have done it. California lawmakers did it. Now Oregon lawmakers will get the same opportunity to put the money where we can prove there is a positive return.
