Technical
education courses are becoming more and more difficult
to provide to high school students. Lack of qualified
instructors, increasing graduation requirements
and expensive equipment has severely limited the
ability of many school districts to offer these
programs. Many high school students do not have
ready access to an AVTS/Technical College. These
problems are multiplied for the many rural school
districts in the state. The result of these cutbacks
are most noticeable when these students enter the
work force or enroll in a post-secondary technical
education program.
In response to this growing need the Southeast Kansas
Educational Service Center, Greenbush (SEKESC) has
developed a series of programs and services to assist
Kansas school districts in providing a wide range
of state-approved (VE-2) technical education instruction
to their students. These programs and services include:
* Computer - based VE-2 Program Delivery
* Career & Technical Education Program Development
& Oversight
* Management of Career & Technical Education
Programs
* Operation of Career & Technical Education
Programs
SEKESC has the ability to develop a program(s) to
meet the specific needs of a district or group of
districts based on the needs of the district’s
students. School districts interested in learning
more about these programs and services may contact
SEKESC at (620)724-6281 or they can contact the
Director of Career & Technical Education at
