The Fast Response Survey System (FRSS) survey #108 on career and technical education (CTE) programs in
public school districts was approved by OMB in November 2016 (OMB# 1850-0733 v.33). The Office of Career,
Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) requested that NCES conduct this FRSS survey. About 95 percent of
9th grade students in 2009 attended a school that offered CTE instruction, either on campus or at a partnering
school; 85 percent of public high school graduates had completed one or more occupational CTE courses; and 19
percent were CTE concentrators who had earned at least three credits in the same CTE field. Effective, highquality CTE programs are aligned with college- and career-readiness standards as well as the needs of
employers, industry, and labor, providing students with a curriculum that combines integrated academic and
technical content and strong employability skills, as well as work-based learning opportunities that enable
students to connect what they are learning to real-life career scenarios and choices. The students participating in
effective CTE programs graduate with industry certifications or licenses and postsecondary certificates or degrees
that prepare them for in-demand careers within high-growth industry sectors. The purpose of the FRSS 108
survey is to collect nationally representative data from public school districts about CTE programs offered by the
districts, whether offered at district facilities or in a partnering off-site location, such as area CTE facilities or
postsecondary institutions. The sample will focus on school districts with high schools because CTE programs are
generally designed for high school students. The survey topics will focus on the extent to which districts provide
high-quality CTE programs and how these programs are developed, designed, and implemented. This request is
to amend the approved FRSS 108 record with NCES responses to public comments received in November 2016.
