Summary
The board unanimously adopted career and technical education (CTE) state courses of study across multiple career clusters and accepted textbook committee recommendations for several CTE subject areas.
The Alabama State Board of Education unanimously adopted the career and technical education (CTE) state course of study for several career clusters, including business management and administration, finance, and manufacturing, and received and adopted textbook committee recommendations for multiple CTE subjects.
A motion to adopt the CTE business management, finance and manufacturing course of study was moved and seconded; the roll call recorded unanimous support. The board then received recommendations from the state textbook committee and voted unanimously to adopt textbooks for CTE classes in agriculture, food and natural resources; law, public safety, corrections and security; and science, technology, engineering and mathematics career classes.
Board members had no recorded dissent on these items and the chair announced unanimous votes. The actions allow districts to use the adopted courses of study and the recommended textbooks as they implement or update CTE instruction.
The board did not specify budget line items in the motions; textbook adoption was recorded as a receipt of the textbook committee recommendations and adoption by the board.
