Career and Technical Education: Enrollment, Performance, Graduation, and Dropout, HISD, 2019-2020. Research Educational Program Report
Houston Independent School District
In alignment with the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act, the state of Texas created section 134.006 of the Texas Education Code in 2009 to provide grants to educational institutions for career and technical education (CTE) programs. This code allows for the creation of CTE programs that prepare students to meet business industry career demands while allowing state grant funding to coincide with district matching funding for the creation and maintenance of CTE programs (Texas Education Code, 2009). This Career and Technical Education Report for 2019-2020 describes the enrollment, performance, graduation, and dropout results for students enrolled in career and technical education (CTE) courses. CTE courses are offered either as a coherent or non-coherent sequence of courses. The evaluation used descriptive statistics to report findings by comparing students enrolled in a coherent sequence of courses, non-coherent sequence of courses, and students not enrolled in any CTE courses.
