An agency official at the Roanoke City Public Schools kickoff described growth in career-technical education, saying the district expanded the Charles W. Day Technical Education Center (CTEC) two years ago and doubled its capacity.
"So 2 years ago, we cut the ribbon on the Charles W. Day Technical Education Center and doubled our CTEC capacity, opening doors for our students in everything from cosmetology and barbering to landscaping and welding," the agency official (first speaking at SEG 033) said. The official added that students who complete two-year pathways have a 100% graduation rate, presenting the figure as a key outcome of the CTE expansion.
The remarks positioned the district's investment in technical education as part of broader workforce and postsecondary-readiness goals. Officials did not provide enrollment or budget figures tied to the CTEC expansion during the remarks; the 100% graduation rate was described in general terms without an accompanying cohort size in the transcript.
