Easier access to regional career training for students

The law lets the state education department name more high schools and public academies as career and technical centers. It can also name stand-alone programs as regional programs when it makes educational and economic sense. Programs on community college campuses and joint college–high school programs can be chosen. The department can include out-of-state programs when that is best for the state. This can give more students nearby options for hands-on career training.
