FOR: RESCINDING EXECUTIVE ORDER 13-21
TO WHOM ALL THESE PRESENTS MAY COME, GREETINGS.
WHEREAS, the economic future of the State of Indiana depends on the availability of a well-educated and well-trained workforce;
WHEREAS, the Center for Education and Career Innovation ("CECI") was established to advance learning outcomes for Hoosier students and adult workers by: (1) aligning statewide efforts to connect the education and workforce training pipeline with the needs of Indiana's employers and (2) supporting the expansion of innovative and highly effective education and career development initiatives;
WHEREAS, in support of this mission, CECI has built a strong foundation to connect the education and workforce training pipeline with the needs of Indiana's employers and has both launched and expanded innovative and effective education and career development initiatives;
WHEREAS, that goal can be furthered by the effective and efficient implementation of CECI's priority initiatives through existing agencies and programs;
WHEREAS, Executive Order 13-21 established CECI "as an agency reporting directly to the Office of the Governor";
WHEREAS, the intent of this Order is to rescind Executive Order 13-21 in its entirety, dissolve CECI as an "agency" and return the functions administered by CECI to their status or to the agency in which they were administered immediately prior to Executive Order 13-21, unless specifically ordered otherwise in this Executive Order.
NOW THEREFORE, I, Michael R. Pence, by the authority vested in me as Governor of the State of Indiana, do hereby order that:

Nothing in this Order shall be read or construed to permit or require CECI or any agency of the State of Indiana unilaterally to breach or terminate any contract, agreement, lease, grant, memorandum of understanding, or other such document or commitment other than pursuant to the terms of the respective contract, agreement, lease, grant, memorandum of understanding, or other such document or commitment.
3. All other executive branch agencies, instrumentalities and personnel of the State of Indiana shall assist as needed in the execution of this Order.
