The plan sets requirements for work‑experience coordinators and teachers, worksite approval procedures, employer responsibilities (safe working conditions, supervision and resources), student enrollment rules, training agreements and documentation (work permits, work records) and professional development for teachers. Kaufman said the plan is reviewed every three years by the board.
There were no public speakers on the item. After brief questions, the board took a roll call vote and approved the plan; commissioners announced their votes and President Walton stated the motion carried by a majority.
