See what this CTE funding model looks like

Six of the 10 school districts within the COPESD do not currently offer CTE and vocational programs. 

Meanwhile, the neighboring Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District has programs in place at all 11 of its school districts using CTE millage funds. Charlevoix-Emmet ISD uses a consortium model similar to what is being considered by COPESD voters on November 4, 2025.

The voter-approved CTE millage would expand opportunities for students at all school districts within our region, building on our collective capacity and partnering with local businesses, with 94% of all millage funds flowing to local schools and agency partners.
