Seriously under funded. Courses lack radical rework which would make them more attractive. Tech Prep is just getting started here in Findlay. Tech Prep should be considered to be handled at each school, but I know in some areas this is impracticable. Tech Prep stills suffers with the stigma of occupational education - we must change this.
Parents tend to feel that university is the only higher education that is good for their kids.
The state needs to look at all Tech Prep programs as a separate unit. Don't consolidate weak programs with strong programs to get a better state average. Fix the weak programs. The Tech Prep model can be applied to other career areas. Make it happen.
