NCES Report Finding: "Districts reported that the following were not barriers to student participation in CTE programs: teachers’ or guidance counselors’ negative perceptions of CTE (58 percent of districts), transportation to CTE programs (44 percent of districts), and lack of student support services for special populations (42 percent)." - https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2018/2018028.pdf
I found this heartening and hopefully a starting point for areas where equity in CTE could be further advanced.
