The Committee reviewed all ASCCC Occ Ed papers. This particular resolution calls to research new laws and issues; however, there is not much to research since laws and issues have not changed since the last CTE paper. The committee did review one paper in particular that made many good recommendations but provided no support for implementing those recommendations. The commitee attemped to pursue doing research that would possibly lead to the development of a followup paper but these efforts were not given any prioirty. The Committee produced a follow up resolution to focus this effort S11 21.01 Career Technical Education (CTE) -- Effective Practices.
