Business & Information Technology Homepage

Business & Information Technology's primary mission is to prepare students for business occupations and to teach students about business. Education about Business & Information Technology focuses on those aspects of business that affect every member of society, whereas preparation for business occupations focuses on the preparation of individuals to own or operate their own business or be a worker in a variety of business functions.

Within the local school district and community, it is the business educator who must develop and nurture a comprehensive business program. The support base for the program should include former students, business employees/employers, informed educators, parents, and all others who recognize that business education can improve the quality of life for the individual and well-being of the community.

The Business & Information Technology consultant and staff at the Department of Public Instruction offer major support to business educators at all levels.
