AASA Endorses House Bill to Reauthorize Perkins CTE Act
Today, AASA sent a letter to the House endorsing legislation to reauthorize the Carl D. Perkins CTE Act. The bipartisan bill, Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, passed the House Education Committee overwhelmingly (37-0) in July. AASA is very pleased with how the bill addresses many of our
key priorities within the reauthorization and hope to see a completed
reauthorization before the year end. We also urge appropriators to consider
funding levels for Perkins as they examine the reauthorization of this
legislation since policy improvements cannot be fully realized without adequate
funding levels.
