Current Narrative:
LEAs will submit applications for Perkins funding through the Delaware Education and Evaluation System (http://www.doe.k12.de.us/domain/212) using current disaggregated data to establish a minimum level of performance for each of the Perkins indicators. They would need to demonstrate how they will use assistance from the grant to promote continuous improvement in academic achievement, technical skill attainment and testing thereof, and/or to implement appropriate CTE pathways for current or emerging high skill, high wage, or high demand occupations. LEAs not meeting specific academic or skill attainment targets will be required to develop improvement plans, engage in technical assistance opportunities through the Delaware Department of Education, and/or be required to expend the equivalent of 20% of their total Perkins allocation, from any allowable and/or appropriate funding source, for time–bound initiatives that specifically addresses unmet targets.
Under the Delaware Education Success Planning and Evaluation System (http://www.doe.k12.de.us/domain/212), all LEAs with CTE programs would be evaluated annually. The evaluation along with data submitted for the annual Perkins Consolidated report will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of career and technical education programs and better integrate student services with other Federal programs to ensure non–duplication.
