(b) Determine the statewide unmet needs for career and technical education capital projects, including renovations and expansions of existing facilities and the construction of new technology centers, through a needs assessment process. This process shall be tied to specific criteria in determining if the current programs or career pathways offered in locally and state-operated facilities are appropriate for the students in the school districts served as well as for determining if new programs are needed.

The Kentucky Board of Education shall incorporate criteria within the administrative regulations relating to school facility plan requirements to prioritize need for career and technical education programming, regardless of whether the programs are locally or state-operated.
