From the Superintendent's Desk:

Bristol Aggie is committed to ensuring that our school community stays informed and engaged in the ongoing discussions surrounding vocational education regulations. This website and the contents in the toolkit serve as a central hub for accessing critical resources related to the  Proposed Vocational School Admission Changes, including a Board Memo summarizing the changes, the full draft of the amendments, and a recorded BESE meeting for further context. 

The Department of Education’s latest proposal includes a weighted lottery system and a student interest requirement.   With public comment open until April 18, 2025, we strongly encourage our community members to review the materials, participate in advocacy efforts, and share their perspectives. This toolkit provides pre-drafted advocacy letters, guidance on submitting public comments, and key contact information for state officials. Your voice is essential in shaping policies that impact our students, and we urge you to engage in this important conversation ahead of the March 25, 2025, BESE public session and the potential final vote on May 20, 2025.
