The Vermont Agency of Education is soliciting public comment on the VT Perkins V State Plan under the federal Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Public Law 115-224). In July of 2018, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, a re-authorization of the Carl D. Perkins Act of 2006. The law is informally referred to as "Perkins V." This Act provides federal funds to Vermont to assist in improving career technical education programs for students enrolled in career technical education programs. The nature of the comments invited at the public hearings is addressed on the page linked below.

Parents, students and community members are encouraged to attend. Each session will start with a 30-minute information session about the draft State Plan. A limited supply of sandwiches and beverages will be available. Translators and sign language interpreters may be provided upon request. To ensure availability, you are advised to make your request at least 72 hours prior to the date of the hearing by contacting Miranda Scott, Program Technician, Vermont Agency of Education by phone at (802) 828-5868 or by e-mail at miranda.scott@vermont.gov.
