June Core Data Past Due for Many Districts
Data questionable?
DESE staff reported to career education administrators attending the MoACTE Conference in Springfield, Mo., June 21, that June secondary student core CTE enrollment was lacking. Only 353 of 440 districts met the July 15 submission deadline. And, some of the data is questionable.
- 87 school districts did not certify enrollment
- 65 reported no concentrators
- 47 reported no CTE enrollment
In addition, only 3 districts identified nontraditional Tech Prep enrollees, meaning either an extraordinary number of districts have no nontraditional Tech Prep students or failed to properly identify them. DESE encourages tech prep school districts to review the nontraditional student definition for the June student core report. June data may be submitted or revised through August 31.
