CSCSD Career and Technical Education



High School CTE Overview
Career and Technical Education Training, as provided by BOCES, can be an extremely worthwhile educational experience for students. BOCES gives a "hands on approach" to fundamental components for many trades. Students can develop skills which can lead to job placement immediately following graduation. However, a student must meet certain criteria in order to be eligible to attend a BOCES vocational program. Parental knowledge and permission must be granted prior to a student being enrolled in a vocational program at BOCES. Students must also be in good academic standing in order to attend a BOCES vocational program as outlined below.
Juniors entering a vocational program must have completed the stated requirements to be eligible to go to BOCES. Seniors, who wish to continue in a vocational program, will be reviewed to determine their continued placement in a vocational program. The three aspects that will be emphasized in making a decision are 1) progress in the vocation, 2) progress in academic classes at Campbell-Savona, and 3) appropriate behavior at the Coopers Education Center as well as Campbell-Savona School. Students may choose to substitute a 5-credit sequence in Career and Technical Education (CTE) in place of the 3 credits in Foreign Language to fulfill that requirement for a Regents with Advanced Designation.
