This summer, the Florida Department of Education has a unique opportunity to take a look at career and technical education as it is offered in the State of Florida. A short survey has been designed for the parents of public middle and high school students, which should take at most
10 minutes to complete. The survey will take a look at the child’s participation, experiences, and opinions on career and technical education programs like culinary arts, manufacturing, digital technologies and more. Parents can take the survey whether their child is in a CTE program or not. Responses will remain completely confidential. Names and other identifying information will not be requested, and all the results will be analyzed in such a way that responses will not be linked to an individual.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), requires every state and district to publish report cards that show how the state, district, and schools are doing with regard to student achievement and success. Holmes County's report card, as well as the individual school report cards, can be accessed at the following link:
