Any issues identified by the Office of CTE must be resolved immediately. Failure to receive program re-approval from the Office of CTE by September 30, 2026, will result in a lapse in the program. Lapsed programs will be removed from the NYSED-approved list and in NYSED’s Information Reporting Services’ Level 2 data, resulting in student CTE data being blocked from SIRS reporting. These lapsed programs are not considered to be active, and therefore, they are not eligible to award the 4+1 CTE Pathway, integrated/specialized academic credit, and the technical endorsement beyond the 2025-26 school year.
