SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Study; Guidance Counselors knowledge and understanding of career and technical education. Requests the Board of Education to examine the requirements for licensure of secondary school guidance counselors in relationship to knowledge and understanding of career and technical education. In conducting this study the Board must assess: (i) the level of knowledge and understanding of career and technical education among currently employed guidance counselors in Virginia's public secondary schools; (ii) the efficacy of providing students who experience difficulty in satisfying the requirements for a standard diploma with information relating the career and technical educational programs available in the relevant school division and the related employment/career opportunities within the relevant community; and (iii) the efficacy of providing students who are college-bound with information on the career and technical courses available in the relevant school division, particularly those courses that could provide the skills for the employment needed to support these students as they pursue post-secondary education and those courses that could provide such students with vocations or hobbies that could enhance the quality of their adult lives.
