Policy 6280 – Vocational and Technical Education

The Board of Education believes that vocational and technical education is critical to the
development of skills necessary for satisfying careers. The underlying foundation for all academic
courses should be the relationship of class concepts to practical job application. Occupational
education shall encompass career awareness, career exploration and career preparation to include
vocational training opportunities, either within the local high school(s) and/or local area vocational
and technical schools.

District vocational programs shall meet all state and federal guidelines and requirements, including
the formation and utilization of advisory councils in all areas.
