The Chapter 74 Partnership Program ("After Dark") approval process recognizes innovative Career Vocational Technical Education pathways, often with an altered delivery schedule through the partnership of a student's enrolled district and a district with established Chapter 74 programs.
Chapter 74 Partnership designation allows school districts offering Chapter 74 vocational technical education programs to partner with other school districts or with other schools within a single school district to provide Chapter 74 technical education opportunities that would not otherwise exist. Often these involve taking advantage of times when technical facilities are underutilized.
Designation allows sending school districts, or sending schools within a single district, to report students as Chapter 74-enrolled and to receive any increases to Chapter 70 state aid that may result from such reporting.
