Summary
Existing law provides funding for career technical education programs, including through, among others, the California Career Technical Education Incentive Grant Program, the Strong Workforce Program, and a K–12 component of the Strong Workforce Program, with the purpose of creating, maintaining, supporting, encouraging, strengthening, and expanding the delivery of career technical education programs in the state, as provided. This bill would require the State Department of Education to develop and maintain a registry of career technical education equipment that is listed for sale and to make the registry accessible to school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools via an internet website. The bill would authorize a local educational agency that intends to offer for sale any career technical education equipment to list the equipment in the registry established by the department. The bill would require the equipment listed in the registry to be offered for sale to other local educational agencies and maintained in the registry for a period of no less than 3 months unless the equipment is purchased by a local educational agency. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2032.
