programs -- Consultation with Career and Technical Education Advisory
Committee.

In order to ensure that high-quality, relevant secondary career and technical
programs are available to students in all school districts that enable them to
gain the academic and technical skills to meet high school graduation
requirements and for successful transition to postsecondary education, work,
or the military and to support present-day and future needs of Kentucky
employers, the Department of Education shall:
(a) Review and revise as needed the equipment and facilities standards for
each career and technical education program identified and described in
the career and technical education supplement to the Kentucky program
of studies and published by the Department of Education; and
(b) Determine the statewide unmet needs for career and technical education
capital projects, including renovations and expansions of existing facilities
and the construction of new technology centers, through a needs
assessment process. This process shall be tied to specific criteria in
determining if the current programs or career pathways offered in locally
and state-operated facilities are appropriate for the students in the school
districts served as well as for determining if new programs are needed.
The statewide assessment of capital needs for career and technical
education shall be incorporated into the local school district facility plan as
required by KRS 157.420. The Kentucky Board of Education shall
incorporate criteria within the administrative regulations relating to school
facility plan requirements to prioritize need for career and technical
education programming, regardless of whether the programs are locally
or state-operated.
The Career and Technical Education Advisory Committee established in KRS
156.806 shall be consulted in carrying out the requirements of this section.
