This report summarizes the activities of the Maryland State Council on Vocational-Technical Education for calendar year 1988. The report includes council recommendations for state legislation during the 1989 session of the General Assembly and a matrix on the status of implementation of council recommendations from prior annual and biennial reports. The report is organized in six parts. The first two parts outline council purpose and philosophy; the third part describes council activities as carried out by the policy committee, the evaluation and planning committee, and the private sector committee, along with other council activities and the annual awards program. Part IV presents recommendations for legislative proposals for: (1) summer programs in vocational-technical education; (2) a state-funded governor's challenge grant program for equipment purchases; and (3) vocational-technical set aside from state shares of basic current expense aid and a report on the status of previous council recommendations. Part V lists a number of actions that the council believes will require continued emphasis if Maryland's vocational-technical education delivery systems are to meet the challenges of anticipated future demands for technically trained workers. The final part projects council concerns. An appendix outlines council responsibilities. (KC)
