Ohio MS CTE Waivers Are Going Away! What Leaders Need to Know and Do

Ohio Law requires each city, local, and exempted village school district to provide career-technical education to students enrolled in grades seven and eight. But, for many years, districts could complete a waiver so they didn't have to meet this requirement. Recently, H.B. 66 eliminated the CTE waivers effective for the 2026-2027 school year. This means that next year, every school in Ohio that serves students in grades seven and eight will be required to offer CTE coursework to those students. While many schools already offer these courses, over 34% of Ohio schools do not. 

EnvisionEdPlus is hosting a FREE live virtual session, Ohio MS CTE Waivers Are Going Away! What Leaders Need to Know and Do to assist any school in thinking through the implications of this legislation. This session will also benefit new administrators who are unfamiliar with MS CTE programming and requirements. During this 60-minute session, we will cover: 

• Key requirements for providing CTE to students in grades seven and eight

• Updates regarding the change in when CTE 26 forms can be submitted

• Licensure requirements to teach CTE to students in grades seven and eight

This session is free, but registration is required. We expect a full house, so register early!
