The Maine Senate has approved a proposal to improve career and technical education in the state.

The Senate approved Democratic Sen. Mattie Daughtry’s bill on Wednesday.

Supporters of the bill say it would create a 20-member task force charged with examining the feasibility, advantages and disadvantages of establishing a comprehensive four-year high school career and technical education program for Maine students.

The group would produce a report about its findings next year.
