Summary
Senate Bill 22.88 was advanced by the committee; it contains a repealer (noted to July 1, 2029 on line 86) and clarifies that Career and Technical Education (CTE) grants of up to $600 per student may be used by districts to purchase equipment that leads to qualifying industry standards.
The Senate Education Committee advanced Senate Bill 22.88 after a brief explanation from the chair. The bill was described as a repealer (the transcript notes the repealer goes to July 1, 2029) and includes clarifying language on Career and Technical Education (CTE) grants.
The chair explained that under the bill each district can receive up to $600 per student in a grant and that language on line 58 would allow those funds to be used, in addition to existing statutory uses, to purchase equipment necessary for programs that lead to qualifying industry standards. The chair offered the floor for questions and, with none raised, Senator Blunt moved the motion to advance the bill. The committee approved SB 22.88 by voice vote.
The action clarifies permissible uses of a $600-per-student CTE grant and advances the bill to the next procedural step.
