Perkins V Continues Perkins IV Funding Formula Structure for Secondary Programs Legislation’s secondary allocation requirementsbased on population data—not CTE enrollments; weighted by number of  economically disadvantaged students in districtSet a minimum threshold of $15,000 allocation (as generated by the mandated formula) to apply directly for fundsRequire states to define size, scope, and quality thresholds to be met in order to apply directly for funds

Board of Regents Actions During Perkins IV Increased integrated academic credits available in approved programs from 4 to 8CTE graduation pathway CDOS Commencement Credential4+CDOS graduation optionRevised middle-level CTE requirementsIncreased number of paths to CTE teacher certification 8 

Transition from Perkins IV to Perkins VUSDE requires states to submit a one-year plan that describes how they intend to: Analyze data to determine gaps in equity and accessEngage stakeholders in identifying barriers to offering state-approved programs of studyExpand opportunities for every student to explore, choose, and follow a program of study that offers multiple entry and exit points and includes the opportunity to earn credentials of valueDue to USDE in May 2019 9

Perkins V Goals Improving the entire CTE delivery continuum through evidence-based program developmentinstructional strategies funding decisionsCareer exploration and preparation for high-skill, high-wage or in-demand occupationsIncreasing the employment opportunities for learners who experience significant barriers to success in the workplace11  

Perkins Plan Goals: Quality and Access 12

Priorities to be Addressed in NY’s Four-year Perkins V Plan Foundational elements to improving access and quality CTE programs:Increasing the number of students enrolled in approved CTE programsImproving the quality of work-based learning experiencesProviding targeted supports and services to improve performance of special populationsIncreasing assistance to high-needs districts and underserved populations 13

Perkins V: Definitions that Organize the Universe    State must define “size, scope, and quality” which establishes eligibility criteria for local applicantsThe law defines “secondary concentrator” as a student “who has completed at least 2 courses in a single program or program of study”The law does not define: “course” Perkins indicators measure the performance of CTE concentrators

Accountability: Secondary Performance IndicatorsPerkins V defines the following performance indicators to measure grant effectiveness: Academic attainment: in ELA, mathematics, and science (mirror New York’s ESSA Plan definitions)Graduation rates (mirror New York’s ESSA Plan definitions)New program quality indicator: participation in work-based learningPost-high school outcomes: placement 6-months after exiting high schoolNon-traditional: Percentage of concentrators in programs that lead to fields that are non-traditional for the students’ gender 15

Perkins V New Accountability Requirement: Publicly Available Performance Reports A new provision in Perkins V calls for states to make CTE student performance data available to the public in an accessible format. 16
