Provision
§ 8305-AEligibilityProvision

Eligible students may receive career and technical education at their local center, and in some cases outside their area; programs must apply admission standards and give first priority to certain resident students.

1. General right. A person eligible to receive free public secondary and middle school level education may, consistent with this section and department rules: A. Receive career and technical education from a center, satellite program or region that serves the person's residence; or [RR 2003, c. 2, §43 (COR).] B. Receive career and technical education from a center, satellite program or region outside of the geographical area that serves the person's residence, subject to the approval of the governing bodies of the sending unit and receiving center, satellite program or region. [PL 2011, c. 679, §7 (AMD).] [PL 2017, c. 171, §6 (AMD).] 2. Admission standards. A region, center or satellite program shall determine, in accordance with its published admission standards, whether to admit a person to such a region, center or satellite program. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this chapter, priority to enroll in any career and technical education course of study offered by a region, center or satellite program must be given first to persons eligible to receive a free public secondary or middle school level education who are residents of municipalities served by that region, center or satellite program. [PL 2017, c. 171, §7 (AMD).] 3. Adult participation in career and technical education courses. A person who is continuing the person's educational placement until the person attains 22 years of age and who is enrolled in a special education program has the right to participate in career and technical education courses. A person who is 22 years of age or older or who has graduated from a secondary school and who otherwise complies with the requirements of this section may receive career and technical education in a career and technical education course if, after all other eligible persons have been enrolled in that course, space exists to accommodate participation by that person. A region, center or satellite program may charge reasonable fees to a person who receives career and technical education pursuant to this subsection. [PL 2023, c. 450, §6 (AMD).]
