As CTE Month comes to a close, we have another exciting announcement – on Tuesday, March 3, the Senate unanimously passed Senate Resolution 94 – A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of Career and Technical Education Month! Because of this success and the floor speeches given by Congressmen Jim Langevin (D-RI) and Glenn Thompson (R-PA), both chambers of Congress have been formally made aware of CTE Month and the benefits of CTE. The resolution was introduced by Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), co-chair of the Senate CTE Caucus, and co-sponsored by:
- Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH)
- Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)
- Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA)
- Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA)
- Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE)
- Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR)
- Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH)
- Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL)
- Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)
- Sen. John Boozman (R-AR)
- Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
ACTE worked closely with Sen. Kaine’s staff to assist in the development of this resolution, and we appreciate his continued support for CTE. In addition, we applaud the work of our members who responded to our legislative alert and contacted their Members of Congress to encourage their support for the resolution!
