Setting Goals and Exceeding Expectations CTE funding is also supplemented with Carl D. Perkins funding, a federal appropriation for vocational and technical education. The federal government is highly interested in CTE as a means to prepare the workforce with the academic and technical skills needed to succeed in a global economy. The additional funding, which amounts to about 6% of the total, is used to develop new CTE programs and improve existing programs. Only approved Career and Technical Education programs can receive state or federal CTE funding. State Board rules, along with federal Perkins and No Child Left Behind regulations, require a high level of accountability for secondary CTE programs. Our vision is to efficiently utilize funding received from the State Legislature and the federal Perkins Act to develop and improve the educational programs of CTE, while encouraging each student to further explore his or her career opportunities to prepare him or her with the academic knowledge and technical skills necessary to succeed in today’s global economy.

PERKINS ACCOUNTABILITY
The Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 authorizes funding for secondary and post-secondary vocational education programs. Its purpose is to develop more fully the academic, vocational, and technical skills of secondary students and post-secondary students who elect to enroll in vocational and technical education programs. This Act identifies development of rigorous academic standards and accountability as additional priorities.
