CTE PARAPROFESSIONALS

     The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Department employs Paraprofessionals in the eight local school districts in the county to assist students in reaching their academic and occupational potential.  Paraprofessionals help students study for tests and quizzes, complete assignments and projects, assist in the lab, or other program settings.

     The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 refers to an identifiable segment of the career and technical education population as individuals who are members of special populations.  The Act defines "special populations" as: 

• Individuals with disabilities
• Individuals from economically disadvantaged families, including foster children
• Individuals preparing for nontraditional training and employment
• Single parents, including single pregnant women
• Displaced homemakers
