Abstract	In 2016, 42 states carried out a total of 139 policy actions relevant to CTE, including laws, executive orders, board of education actions, budget provisions and ballot initiatives. This represents an increase over 2015 activity. Several states passed packages of legislation impacting multiple elements of CTE programming, such as "Virginia," "California," "Indiana" and "Idaho," while "Iowa" took a deep dive into redesigning secondary CTE and career development. The governors in several of these states had previously signaled that CTE would be a priority in 2016 in their state of the state addresses, including Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter of "Idaho" and Gov. Terry McAuliffe of "Virginia", which helped provide momentum for such reforms. Some key takeaways include: (1) In 2016, funding continued its streak as the top category of state CTE policies for the fourth year in a row; (2) Twenty-eight states took action to financially support CTE activities this past year, including new sources of funding, redirected funds, scholarships and incentives; (3) New grant programs supporting CTE were established in several states, including California and Massachusetts; (4) Oregon created the College and Career Readiness Fund, which calls on the legislature to allocate $800 per high school student each year for CTE programs as well as dual credit and dropout prevention; (5) Utah started a fund to develop programs of study with industry; (6) In addition, the prior year's cuts to CTE in Arizona were restored; and (7) The second most popular category is policy related to industry partnerships and work-based learning, with 26 states working in this area by supporting or incentivizing collaboration between industry and education and work-based learning opportunities. Also noteworthy are policies related to dual and concurrent enrollment, articulation and early college (21 states), as well as policies supporting the attainment of industry-recognized credentials (20 states).
