Implementing a New Program of Study

Are you interested in implementing a new Perkins Program of Study? Here are some things to consider before starting the process -

• Does your community or labor market research support employment in the skill areas you are considering?
• Does your school have the capacity to offer the appropriate coursework, both in physical space and teacher expertise?
• Are the students interested in learning these skills?

If the answers to the above questions are yes, then you will need to have the CTE representative from your school contact Debbie Johnson to begin the process of implementing a new program of study.
