The House Education and the Workforce Committee has announced it will “mark up” its Perkins reauthorization bill on Wednesday, May 17. The markup will be held at 10:00 am Eastern time and will be webcast live at http://edworkforce.house.gov/calendar/eventsingle.aspx?EventID=401646.
During the markup, Committee members will be able to discuss and offer amendments to the legislation, H.R. 2353, that was released last week. During last year’s consideration of similar Perkins reauthorization legislation, only a handful of amendments were offered, and most were adopted uncontroversially (with a few withdrawn). That is expected to be the case again this year.
ACTE has prepared a summary of the bill as it was introduced and will be updating that summary after the markup. In addition, you can view our letter to the Committee expressing support for the bill’s passage, as well as continued concern about the definition of a CTE concentrator.
