Districts are required to complete an annual CTE program consultation with the DOE Division of Career and Technical Education in conjunction with the SD-CLNA to maintain their program approval status. DCTE Regional Specialists will guide districts through this process on a one on one basis. There are three basic elements of this process outside of the consultation itself. Please follow up with your district’s regional specialist for further guidance and instructions.

Please use the link for the CTE region your district belongs to. Check which region your district is in.
