The Department of Education's Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education is proposing changes to an information collection process. This process, called the Consolidated Annual Report, collects data from state, local, and tribal governments about their career and technical education programs under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006. The Department is seeking public input on whether the collection is necessary, accurate, and how it might be improved. They are also revising the collection requirements to extend the current reporting through fiscal year 2025 and propose changes for fiscal year 2026.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to know how schools teach job skills, so they ask for a report every year. They're trying to make this report better and easier to fill out, and they want people to share ideas on how to do that.
