Current Narrative:

All 12 of the existing local areas met the criteria for performing successfully and maintaining fiscal integrity, as outlined in WIOA section 106(b)(2) and (3), and this was verified through data reporting and monitoring efforts. As to regional planning areas, discussions have begun across at least two local areas (5 and 12). Additionally, interstate planning is underway with Region 9 and Ohio. In January 2018, DWD issued policy 2017-11 Regional Designations under WIOA. As to consulting with the local boards in identifying regions, DWD took part in a taskforce of the Indiana Career Council, which was focused on assessing system alignment. This taskforce thoroughly reviewed and discussed the workforce development board areas to determine if the 12 areas should be modified. After several meetings, which included input from local boards, the recommendation of the taskforce was to have the WIA local areas remain intact, with the exception of having Region 5 and 12 plan regionally together.

As to the process the State will implement to ensure its local areas meet the criteria for sustained fiscal integrity, in accordance with WIOA sec. 106(a) and (b)(2) and (3), DWD requires fiscal reporting and conducts monitoring to ensure local areas meet these criteria in the last 2 consecutive years preceding the determination as required for initial and subsequent designation.
