Dear ACTEAZ Members,


This information is coming to you as an ACTEAZ Member Service. This information is regarding CTE Funding in IMMEDIATE DANGER due to the Governor's proposed cuts to the Vocational Education Block Grant. If this proposal is approved it will result in a loss of $11,492,000 in state funds as well as $25.9 million in matching federal funds for a total of $36.9 million dollars! The impact on Arizona Career and Technical Education will be catastrophic. The loss of these funds will have a very detrimental impact on the services provided to 104,628 current CTE students who are enrolled in 1,670 CTE program courses offered in 72 occupational programs in 328 high schools in our state.


Attached please find a fact sheet to assist you in further understanding the severity of these proposed cuts.


The Governor will be meeting with the Legislature Immediately on this issue. If you contact your state legislators and express your concern regarding the Governor's proposed cuts to CTE be sure and use your home computers, supplies and technology and do not do on work time. http://www.azleg.gov/alisStaticPages/HowToContactMember.asp.


More Important Information on the ACOVA website regarding this information at www.acova.org.


Sincerely,


ACTEAZ Executive Board

As your incoming President, I would like to thank all of you for your support and dedication to our profession. I hope you took advantage of the numerous professional development opportunities offered during the ACTE Summer Conference.

The condition of both our state and national economy forces us all to feel the pinch. I feel this school year is going to be a challenging one. It is very important that we stand together and support each other. I ask all of you to join me as I "Step Up To The Plate" and get involved with ACTEAZ.
