In a study of integration of vocational and academic education in Texas, administrators of a stratified random sample of 112 school districts in the state were surveyed, and 65% responded. Steps toward integration were being taken in 84% of the districts; however, only four districts have implemented integration plans described as comprehensive. Health occupations, trade and industrial, and English courses were the most likely to be integrated. Vocational students at integration sites were found to have closed the achievement gap with college prep students by 89% in reading, 36% in math, and 75% in science. Insufficient release and preparation time for teachers was identified as the main obstacle to integration. Perkins funds for integration were spent most frequently on staff development, computer and software purchases, and additional career counselors and guidance activities. Ten recommendations for increasing integration of vocational and academic education were formulated. (Appended are the following: the administrator survey, a list of integration pilot sites, and a position statement of the Florida, New York, and Texas state councils on vocational education in reference to incorporating integration of vocational and academic education into the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.)
