Patience is a virtue, but patience can be a challenge. It is hard to wait for resources, information, guidance. However, we had to exhibit great patience with sending out this SMORE as we waited for more information and guidance from TEA regarding what the Fall will look like for CTE. I have heard worry from teachers about whether they would keep their jobs, concerns from administrators regarding how they were going to facilitate their CTE programs, and overall concern regarding what school will look like for all faculty, staff, and students. While all the answers are not yet found, we have been given some guidance to move forward with. It also seems that with patience came a plan that offers LEAs some flexibility in their CTE program offerings. The attendance and funding FAQ document is linked in this newsletter. Please take some time to read through it and see what it means for your LEA. We as Region 10 are working to learn the information as well so that we can assist you as you make your plans. If you have questions please ask! There is a section in this newsletter that will allow you to pre-submit questions to TEA that will be answered at the Virtual CTAT Conference in July. Also, if you have more pressing questions, email them to us and we will do the leg work to get them answered for you. Happy planning everyone!
