An Act To Enhance the Development of Innovative Career and Technical Education Programs

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

Sec. 1. 20-A MRSA §8403-A, sub-§2,  as amended by PL 2017, c. 420, §2, is further amended to read:

2. Procedure for authorizing career and technical education satellite programs.  Any affiliated unit that wishes to operate a career and technical education satellite program shall submit a written request to operate such a satellite program to the governing body of the center or region with which the unit is affiliated commissioner. The request must fully document the perceived need for the operation of a satellite program. The governing body of the center or region with which the unit is affiliated shall consider the request and forward its recommendation to the commissioner concerning whether that request should be approved. The commissioner shall act on the request pursuant to section 8306-B.

SUMMARY

This bill streamlines the procedure for authorizing career and technical education satellite programs. Current law requires any affiliated unit that wishes to operate a career and technical education satellite program to submit a written request to operate a satellite program to the governing body of the center or region with which the unit is affiliated. The governing body of the center or region considers the request and then forwards its recommendation to the Commissioner of Education. Instead, the bill provides that the written request be submitted directly to the Commissioner of Education for approval.
