| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| We request the School Board adopt the attached proclamation designating the month of February 2012 as "Career and Technical Education Month" in Hillsborough County Public Schools.
The National Association for Career and Technical Education, the Florida Association for Career and Technical Education, and the Hillsborough, Technical, Career and Adult Association have designated the month of February 2012 as Career and Technical Education Month. Attached is the Governor's proclamation recognizing the state of Florida's observance of Career and Technical Education month for February 2012. The theme for this year's recognition is "CTE: Careers Through Education." CTE serves as the foundation of a strong, continuously educated workforce and contributes to America's leadership in an ever changing international marketplace. CTE programs and academies are exemplary and provide graduates the skills to pursue all levels of postsecondary education. In addition, our workforce development programs for adults provide opportunities for updating skills, pursuing advanced career opportunities, and continuing education. The quality of Hillsborough County Career and Technical Education's services and programs attracts many new industries to the Tampa Bay area which enriches our local economy.
