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.
