CTE and Civil Rights

The State Education Department (SED) is required by the federal Office for Civil Rights to conduct civil rights compliance reviews and provide technical assistance to agencies receiving federal financial assistance, i.e., local school districts and (BOCES) and public two-year colleges. These reviews and the technical assistance provided are geared toward  the prevention, identification, and remediation of discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability and age in career and technical education programs that receive federal assistance.  This ensures that all students have access to career and technical education programs and services.
