SPECIAL NOTE: Also note that an on-site training verification form must be submitted by the career and technical director early in the fall for 3 hours of local training provided by the director.

Remote sites have been confirmed as Elkhart, Walker (Indy East), Central Nine (Indy South), and Prosser (New Albany).  Note sites may be altered if distribution of registrants indicates the need in time to move the location. Each person will be assigned to appropriate site.  Since there are a limited number of spaces at each site, it may be necessary for some late registrants to be assigned to a site other than the closest.  Every effort will be made to assign the most convenient site.
