Section I of this document highlights the major changes proposed by the American Vocational Association Board of Directors in its final reauthorization document. The Board's position is that the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act should be reauthorized with modest modifications and increased funding authority; qualified federal staff with specific responsibility to administer quality federal vocational programs should be mandated; the sole state agency concept should be continued; the balance between program improvement funds and funds for special populations should be maintained; basic education skills should be integrated into the vocational education curriculum; the importance of vocational student organizations should be emphasized; assistance should be maintained for community-based organizations serving disadvantaged youth, consumer and homemaking education, and career guidance and vocational counseling; business-industry-labor-education partnerships should be emphasized; the Tech-Prep Education Act should be integrated into the Perkins Act; and funding should be provided for a new Vocational Education Personnel Development Assistance Program, Curriculum Coordination Centers, and limited English proficiency vocational training. Section II indicates proposed changes in the actual text of the bill. (YLB)
