Letter from ACOVA

ACOVA

July 26,2010

Dear Rep. Pratt,

The members of ACOVA, the Association for Career and Technical Education Administrators, would like to thank you for your support of Career and Technical Education during the recent budget crisis. Your timely response to this emergency saved the opportunity for over 100,000 Arizona high school students to participate in quality Career and Technical Education programs. The 38 million dollars combined state and federal funds provides resources for our students to engage in rigorous and relevant learning.

The leadership and personal development skills combined with the classroom and laboratory based instruction prepare our students for continuing education and Arizona's workforce. Career and Technical Education continues to be the premier delivery system for learning.

We thank you once again for supporting the Career and Technical Education students of Arizona.

Sincerely,
Cathie Raymond and members of ACOVA
President
