Abstract | The federal government role is significant in the San Francisco vocational education system which has two primary delivery systems--the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) and Community College District (SFCCD). The SFUSP is hampered by the city's pluralistic and decentralized governance approach. Although the state was not irrelevant in establishment of local education policy, vocational education program development primarily bears the imprint of internal political, social, and economic factors. The future of secondary vocational education is not encouraging, considering the increasingly dominant role of comparatively well-financed community colleges. In apparent contrast to the contractive process in the SFUSD is the recently developed School of Business and Commerce. It was designed, however, primarily as a last-ditch measure to gather and maintain SFUSD's outstanding vocational education resources. SFUSD's present program limitations and future financial constraints have enabled SFCCD to dominate vocational instruction through its dual delivery systems: the main community college campus and decentralized college centers and satellites. Vocational Education Act funding is largely a supplement for the two local delivery systems. It also carries the adverse impact of distracting local administrators from their primary responsibililties. While providing supplemental vocational training, Comprehensive Employment and Training Act programs are weakened by vast resource scattering. (YLB) |
