BILL NUMBER:S7376
Title of bill
An act to direct chancellors of city school districts, in cities having a population of one million or more, to examine and assess the feasibility of expanding the number and types of career and technical education schools and programs within such city school districts
Purpose
To direct the chancellor of education in New York City to publish a report on the feasibility of expanding the number and types of various educational schools that provide instruction in career and technical fields.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill directs the chancellor of education in New York City to examine, evaluate and make recommendations concerning the feasi- bility, costs, benefits and means of creating more career and technical education schools and programs.
Section 2 requires the chancellor of education in New York City to publish a report on the findings of such study to the governor, the temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, the minority leader of the senate, and the minority leader of the assembly. The report shall include the findings, conclusions, recommendations, and legislative proposals of the commissioner of education.
Section 3 is the enacting clause.
Justification
By offering only one path to graduation New York's current education system is ignoring part of the student population that is inclined to other types of education and learning experiences. Career Technical Education (CTE) schools provides students an opportunity for vocational training. However, currently there are very few CTE schools and as a result the schools are limited in how many students they can serve. This study will determine if CTE schools should be expanded.
Legislative history
None.
Fiscal implications
Undetermined.

This act shall take effect immediately.
