ACTE Stands in Solidarity with the Black Community
Recent weeks have focused us on societal issues. In reflecting on this moment, ACTE stands in solidarity with the Black community. As an organization, we condemn institutional racism in all of its forms and believe in social justice and civil rights. We wish to reaffirm our existing statement:
ACTE promotes high quality CTE programs for diverse audiences. We continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports and celebrates the diversity of the CTE community. We are committed to equity, access, inclusion, and diversity throughout our organization.
