Board approves CTE plan after state 339 audit flags paperwork improvements

Administration briefed the board on a routine state '339' audit of the district’s Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs, which reviews three to five years of program documentation. Officials said auditors recommended mostly administrative and documentation improvements — for example, ensuring OAC (occupational advisory committee) meeting dates match paperwork and collecting career‑readiness forms from students — rather than programmatic changes.

Dr. Ross, identified in the meeting as the Career Tech lead and a high‑school assistant principal, told trustees the audit was “very good” overall and that the feedback was “doable.” Board members approved item 10E, the Delaware Valley High School Career and Technical Education plan for 2025–26, endorsing the recommended corrective actions to maintain Perkins funding eligibility.

Administrators noted that some requirements — such as having two OAC meetings annually and maintaining career‑readiness documentation for each student — will require continued follow up to ensure compliance with funding rules. The board voted to approve the plan with no recorded objections.
