What is CTE?

 

​

​

  • CTE is Career and Technical Education Programming
  • CTE is NOT a pot of extra money to support programs and courses you are already required to do
  • CTE has two funding pots, State EIA as well as Federal Perkins.
  • In SCPCSD schools, CTE is a cohesive pathway of courses and experiences that will lead students 12th grade down to 6th grade on a career pathway, potentially to an associates degree, industry certificate, or completer status.
  • Our schools have agreements with local institutions of higher education to ensure students have access to courses and experiences that will set them on the path of post-secondary success
  • CTE is a LOT of work

Coding Students to Ensure Funding

​

  1. Locate the student in Powerschool
  2. Click ‘All Enrollments’
  3. Ensure the student is enrolled in a CTE Course
  4. Navigate to the EFA screen
  5. Set the EFA code to VOC

​

**Remember, the highest weighted EFA should be set as the Primary EFA-this may not be VOC. If VOC is not the highest weight for the student, it should be coded in the EFA secondary fields

​

Students coded as VOC who are not enrolled in CTE qualified courses will result in repayment of funds by the school to SDE.

Ensuring Program Cohesiveness and Alignment

  • We are not offering a hodgepodge of CTE courses just to secure funding.
  • There should be program alignment between grade levels
  • Consider what your community needs are, and what local feeder or receiving schools are offering

How SCPCSD Allocates Funds

​

  • Come one come all with grades 12 down to 6. Funding is NOT guaranteed.
  • If you are a current school, have attended this webinar, and submitted a complete and compliant application by July 15, 2023, we will examine your 135th day report for number of students coded as VOC
  • Once SCDE allocates funds to us, funds will be allocated to schools based on a per pupil methodology for students coded as VOC on your 135 day report for both Perkins and EIA funding.
