Career Technical Education (CTE) CTE provides students with the academic and technical skills, and with the knowledge and training necessary to succeed in future careers and to become lifelong learners. Foundational to CTE are rigorous program technical standards developed by business and industry. CTE prepares learners for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies, and makes academic content accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context. In fact, the high school graduation rate for Arizona students who concentrate in at least one CTE program is about 93 percent – which is much higher than the Arizona average. The Vision: Every Arizona student has a developed career pathway. The Mission: Career and Technical Education will engage Arizona learners in relevant experiences leading to purposeful and economically viable careers. Career and Technical Education is part of a well-rounded education and, as such, CTE programs are eligible to access Title IV funds.
Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESA) / School Choice Parents have the right to choose what’s best for their family and have their education tax dollars pay for the school that meets their child’s needs. Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESA) make that possible. With the ESA program, the money that would pay for that student’s education in a neighborhood school follows that student to whichever school the parents choose for their child, including education at home. ESA dollars cover multiple education expenses such as private school tuition, curricula, educational supplies, tutoring and more.
