SB 1055 Career and technical education.

Introduced by: Frederick M. Quayle | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Career and technical education. Changes the name of vocational technical education in the Code of Virginia to refer to "career and technical" education, in conformance with the currently accepted national view. The name, career and technical education, reflect the increased status and complexity of vocational education programs (for example, complex diagnostic computers for auto mechanics and computer technician certification programs that qualify graduates for profitable careers). Enactment clauses clarify that no public school need change its name; however, regardless of the name, a vocational school must continue to comply with the relevant requirements in law and regulation. Further, no stationery, logo, pamphlets or other printed materials or websites must be redesigned and, where any name change is dictated in this bill, all materials with the current name may be depleted before being redesigned or reprinted. No additional services are required in any state or local program by reason of this name change. References to vocational education will be synonymous with and subsumed by "career and technical" education. This bill is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee to Study Continuing and Vocational/Technical Education.
