Perkins IV: The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Public Law 109 -270) Ø Direction and funding to support continuous improvement in career and technical education (CTE) at secondary and postsecondary Ø Accountability for results and program improvement at all levels Ø Increased coordination within the CTE system Ø Stronger academic and technical integration Ø Connections between secondary and postsecondary education Ø Links to business and industry

A New Consortium Structure Ø In Minnesota, Perkins funds are distributed in separate secondary and postsecondary allocations to consortia that include at least one secondary district (or consortium) and at least one eligible postsecondary institution. Ø Each Perkins consortium submits a single joint local plan signed by both secondary and postsecondary representatives. This is approved by staff from both the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Office of the Chancellor.

Postsecondary Cohort Model Minnesota is one of a handful of states to use a cohort model. The use of cohorts aligns with other system initiatives and reporting. For example, the FY 2005 -2007 cohort includes students entering in FY 2005 and tracked for three years: 2005, 2006, and 2007.

Secondary: CTE Levy The CTE Levy is a permissive levy that does not require a public vote. This levy is a set amount depending on the population of the enrollment district and is approved by the local school board. The Levy can only be used for approved CTE programs where there is an appropriately licensed CTE teacher.
