Overview Status: On July 31, 2018, the President signed the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act into law. Purpose: Perkins is dedicated to increasing learner access to high-quality Career Technical Education (CTE) programs of study. With a focus on: • systems alignment and program improvement • improving the academic and technical achievement of CTE students • strengthening the connections between secondary and postsecondary education • improving accountability
Texas Perkins Grant Total Amount of Perkins grant in 2018-2019: $105,261,269. • Secondary: 70% • Postsecondary: 30% Funding Formula • Allocations are based on Census Bureau population and poverty counts of individuals age 5-17.
Programs of study • Public school Career and Technology Education (CTE) programs that are misaligned to labor market demand create multiple problems for Texas students: • Students take secondary and post-secondary coursework that lead to low-paying and/or limited job opportunities. • Students accrue a high amount of student loan debt while in pursuit of low-paying and/or low-demand careers.
Programs of study • To address these issues, the College, Career, and Military Preparation (CCMP) Division has defined a list of state and regional programs of study that local education agencies (LEAs) can offer in their CTE programs based on the current job market demands.

Programs of study • A program of study is defined as a comprehensive, structured approach for delivering academic and career and technical education to prepare a student for postsecondary education and career success. • LEAs will be able to apply for approval of additional regional programs of study based on unique regional job market demands. • Effective in the 2019-2020 school year, for an LEA to be eligible to receive Carl D. Perkins funding, they must offer at least one program of study.
Programs of study • To administer the federal Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education (CTE) program, it is necessary to collect additional CTE data. • TX-ProgramsOfStudy sub-complex type is added to the LocalEducationAgencyExtension complex type; reported in the PEIMS Fall Submission. • PROGRAM-OF-STUDY (E1643) and associated code table, PROGRAM-OF-STUDY-CODE (C220)
Programs of study • If an LEA offers a CTE program of study, then the LEA must report the sub-complex type TX-ProgramsOfStudy and PROGRAM-OF-STUDY (E1643). • PROGRAM-OF-STUDY can be reported more than once and the LEA should report each PROGRAM-OF-STUDY it offers.
PROGRAM-OF-STUDY Required in PEIMS Fall submission 2019-2020: • 10010 Local Education Agency Complex Type – Districts who offer one or more approved state or regional program of study.
PROGRAM-OF-STUDY-CODE (C220) Districts select statewide programs of study offered by reviewing course sequences. 2019-2020 Transition Year 2020-2021 Implementation Year
Programs of study • Collection of this data will assist the CCMP Division in: • Knowing which programs of study are offered by each LEA • Aligning the programs of study an LEA can offer based on current job market demands • Correlating LEA programs of study information to student participation using course completion data • Comparing the pipeline of students completing programs of study against the current job market • Computing and distributing the Perkins funding based on programs of study provided by an LEA
