1994. The Council shall be responsible for: Assessing the progress of 
School-to-Work Opportunities systems development and program 
implementation toward achieving the goals of the School-to-Work 
Opportunities Initiative; providing feedback and making recommendations 
to the Steering Committee regarding the progress and direction of
