Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. All public high schools shall provide students the opportunity to enroll in available vocational and technical education courses.

B. (1) If a high school does not offer vocational and technical education courses, the governing authority of the school may enter into agreements to partner with other public schools or with one or more two-year public postsecondary education institutions in the state or with nonprofit proprietary schools or Course Choice providers approved by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide available vocational and technical education courses for the student as required in Subsection A of this Section. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to supersede R.S. 17:4002.1 et seq.

(3) No student shall be assessed a course fee when the local education agency receives career development funds in the minimum foundation program for such course.

C. All public high schools shall advise students of the availability of the TOPS-Tech Early Start Award for eligible students and shall provide information on the eligibility criteria of the award.
