Parent discussions highlighted barriers to college/career technical education (CTE) for immigrant families, such as immigration status and financial constraints. Further discussion centered on the administration and feedback collection for the English Learner (EL) Needs Assessment Survey, with suggestions for improving parent outreach, including incentives and dedicated orientation events.
