CTE grant
recipients announced
Forty-three schools and educational cooperatives across South
Dakota will receive a total of $1.5 million to fund career and
technical education initiatives during the 2007-08 school year.
(See list below.) The one-year grants will support 60 projects.
Through career and technical education, students learn about the
strong connection between high school, postsecondary education
and the workplace.
Grant proposals focused on seven key areas: academic and
technical skills, career guidance, entrepreneurial activities,
new CTE programs within specific career clusters, partnerships,
adding rigor to high school, and distance learning.
“By encouraging distance learning projects within this grant, we
should see more CTE courses available statewide via the new
Virtual High School,” said Mark Wilson, director of career and
technical education for the South Dakota Department of
Education.
The South Dakota Legislature appropriated $1.5 million in career
and technical education funds earlier this year, which was an
increase of $500,000 over last year’s funding.
The Department of Education received more than 80 applications
requesting $2.8 million to fund initiatives during the 2007-08
school year.
