Career and Technical Education Advisory Council

A Career and Technical Education Advisory Council has long been established for Williamson County Schools. Members of the council represent the seven career clusters within the high school curriculum. The purpose for the council is to advise the local school district concerning the employee needs of business and industry and the development of quality career and technical education programs. The role of the members is advisory in nature, and it does not possess administrative policy-making or legislative authority. The council's role is to assist the local board and the individual schools.
