We are still a CTSO

There were rumors last year that stated Educators Rising lost their CTSO status. That is incorrect!

The National Coordinating Council for Career and Technical Student Organizations (NCC-CTSO) serves as a communications and collaborative vehicle for Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) that are recognized by a significant number of state departments of education as integral to their Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. They have set their own criteria that CTSO’s must meet in order to have a seat on their council and be recognized by them.

This council does not decide who gets to be a CTSO and who does not.
