  30. AGENDA • Requirements to Receive Funds • Local Distribution of Funds • Uses of Funds • Guidelines for Use of Funds Dan/JoAnn Dan JoAnn Lou/Pam/Dan/JoAnn

  31. GOALS Explain the distribution of Perkins funds to local consortia – how is the amount my consortium receives determined? Review requirements to receive funds – what does the consortium need to do to receive the funds? Review federal and state requirements for uses of funds and permissive use of funds – how can the consortium use the funds it receives?

  32. Requirements to Receive Perkins Funds

  33. To To Receive Perkins Funds Secondary State-approved CTE Program(s) Utilizing appropriately licensed staff Postsecondary On MnSCU Approved Program Inventory Procedure 3.36.1 Offered by state college Perkins eligible Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) and Career Pathway identified Leads to certificate, diploma, AAS or AS Faculty meet minimum qualifications of career, technical credential field- Policy 3.32 Procedure 3.32.1

  34. To Receive Perkins Funds • Participate in one of the state’s Perkins consortia • Each consortium must have at least one eligible secondary recipient and at least one eligible postsecondary recipient • No district nor college may belong to more than one consortium • A charter school with a state-approved CTE program must be invited to participate in a consortium

  35. To Receive Perkins Funds • Consortia are encouraged to consider other potential partners who may participate but may not directly receive funds • WorkForce Centers • Adult Basic Education Programs • 4-year Universities • Non-public schools and institutions

  36. To Receive Perkins Funds • The consortium must develop a single local/regional plan • The plan must address secondary basic grant programs, postsecondary basic grant programs, and tech prep activities • The plan must address all required Perkins activities and any permissible Perkins activities organized around five broad goals • The plan must be signed by each participating college president and each participating school superintendent

  37. To Receive Perkins Funds • The consortium must identify one secondary fiscal host and one postsecondary fiscal host to receive and manage Perkins funds in accordance with the local plan • Consortium funds may not be commingled, but may be used across secondary/postsecondary lines • The signed local plan is the legal document governing use of the funds – no other joint powers agreement is required

  38. To Receive Perkins Funds – Expectations of the Perkins Coordinators • Facilitate development of the local consortium plan and budget • Coordinate development and implementation of programs of study and technical skill assessments • Ensure submission of student data and accountability reports (APR) • Negotiate accountability and monitor performance targets • Facilitate brokering with other consortia

  39. To Receive Perkins Funds • Expectations of the Perkins Fiscal Hosts • Manage the money per the agreements in the consortium plan • Sub-grant funds to other school districts/colleges as appropriate • Manage the draw-down of funds • Ensure submission of fiscal information • Maintain an audit trail

  40. Distribution of Perkins Funds to Local Consortia

  41. Secondary/Postsecondary Split • Minnesota Rule 3505.1700 states: ALLOTMENT AVAILABILITY OF FEDERAL FUNDS. A cooperative agreement between the commissioner of education and Minnesota State Colleges and Universities will annually provide for the distribution of federal funds between secondary and postsecondary career and technical programs. Distribution to local education agencies must be determined by state and federal law.

  42. Secondary/Postsecondary Split • Staff recommend the annual secondary/ postsecondary split using the following factors • FYE student count (50%) • Population of students with disabilities (10%) • Population of economically disadvantaged students (15%) • Population of limited English proficient students (10%) • Count of nontraditional students (5%) • Count of single parents/pregnant teens (10%)

  43. Secondary/Postsecondary Split • In recent years, the previous calculation recommended a split of 40% secondary and 60% postsecondary • Expecting consortia to need approximately 1/5 of funds for consortium building and maintenance, the state recommended dividing 1/5 of the funds evenly • The result promoted a recommended split of 42% secondary and 58% postsecondary

  44. Secondary Distribution • The Perkins Act specifies that once the split is determined, funds will be distributed to secondary recipients on the following basis: • 30% will be distributed on the basis of individuals between the ages of 5 and 17 inclusive using the most recent US Census data available • 70% will be distributed on the basis of individuals between the ages of 5 and 17 inclusive in households of poverty using the most recent US Census data available

  45. Postsecondary Distribution • The Perkins Act specifies that once the split is determined, funds will be distributed to postsecondary recipients on the following basis: • 100% will be distributed on the basis of individuals in career and technical education programs receiving PELL or Bureau of Indian Affairs assistance

  46. Reserve Distribution • The Perkins Act allows states to utilize an alternate method to distribute up to 10% of Perkins funds to address any of three factors: • rural areas; • areas with high percentages of career and technical education students; and • areas with high numbers of career and technical education students.

  47. Reserve Distribution • Minnesota opted to address two of the factors by utilizing an alternate formula for 10% of the distribution to local recipients • the needs of rural areas and • areas with high numbers of career and technical education students

  48. Reserve Distribution • That formula distributes • half of the reserve funds on the basis of the geographic area of the consortium • half of the reserve funds on the basis of the number of CTE participants in secondary and postsecondary programs, weighted 3:1 toward secondary participation to reflect programming formerly conducted under tech prep

  49. For one consortium, the postsecondary formula allocation is based on 1,147 Pell CTE recipients at the college out of a state total of 41,264 Pell/BIA CTE recipients at all colleges times the postsecondary formula allocation = (1,147/41,264) x $7,433,765 = .0278… x $7,433,765 = $206,633.59

  50. In the same consortium, the secondary formula allocation is calculated for each district based 30% on its census population 5-17 and 70% on its census poverty population 5-17 against a state total census count of 896,541 and a state total poverty census county of 110,473. e.g. for District 0061 = (4,772/896,541) x .30 x $5,383,071 + (247/110,473) x .70 x $5,383,071 = $17,020.69
