Exploring State Secondary CTE Funding
An overview of state secondary CTE funding & improvement recommendations.
Providing high-quality Career Technical Education (CTE) requires robust, sustained funding designed to be responsive to industry and learner needs. Funding continues to be an important topic with at least 35 governors discussing funding and recent increased investments in K–12 funding in their state addresses. Advance CTE embarked on an analysis of states’ secondary CTE funding models to gather a view of what’s happening in the field. Advance CTE and two state leaders will share an overview of state secondary CTE funding models across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, provide examples from state funding models, and elevate recommendations about state funding models to ensure all learners have access to, feel welcome in and find success through CTE. This work was generously supported by the Walton Family Foundation.
