Annual Performance Report for Vocational Education (Activities Utilizing Federal Funds). Fiscal Year 1994.
West Virginia State Board of Education, Charleston.
By fiscal year 1994, all local educational agencies (LEAs) in West Virginia had implemented the statewide system of standards and measures mandated by the 1990 Perkins Act. The second evaluation under this system indicated that the majority of vocational programs met the standards for student satisfaction, placement, employer satisfaction, and special populations enrollments. In operation were 30 secondary and 8 postsecondary sex equity programs. Single parents, displaced homemakers, and single pregnant women received services through LEAs, community colleges, and special vocational-technical programming, assistance, and support services. All 64 LEAs participated in recruitment, placement, and monitoring of special populations, disadvantaged persons, and individuals with limited English proficiency in vocational-technical programs. To update the curricular offerings in vocational-technical education, 61 programs were dropped and 19 new programs were initiated. Major emphasis was placed upon initiation of programs in applied academics for vocational students. The Tech Prep Associate Degree effort was expanded to include 40 county school systems. Sixty high schools and vocational-technical centers participated in the High Schools that Work program. Consumer and homemaking education, career guidance and counseling, and correctional education programs were continued. (Appended to the 26-page report are the standards and measures, enrollment charts, and descriptions of sex equity programs.) (YLB)
