It is imperative that education, business, industry, and community members communicate in order that Career and Technical Education can perform the function for which it was designed. The Advisory Board is the vehicle by which the District develops this communication.

The goals of the board are to:

• Advise the District in both long and short-range planning for Career and Technical Education programs.
• Advise the District of current job needs and of the relevance of Career and Technical Education programs and courses offered by the District.
• Provide a forum for recommending equipment and training so that Career and Technical Education can adequately meet its goals.
• To encourage students to continue their education and preparation for a career beyond the high school level by providing scholarships for outstanding students.
• Enhance political and community support of vocational education
