Board approves application to apply for roughly $99,000 in Carl Perkins funds
Summary
The board permitted staff to apply for approximately $99,000 in Carl Perkins career and technical education funds, with roughly $80,000 intended for classroom equipment and the balance for professional development and transition services.
School staff received board approval to apply for Carl D. Perkins career and technical education funds for the next school year, using the current year's award total as the application baseline.
A presenter said the application amount is approximately $99,000—about the same as the prior year—and noted the district must use the previous year's total when submitting the application and then amend it later if necessary. Staff said they expect to allocate roughly $80,000 of the award to equipment for classrooms, with the remainder split between professional development for teachers and support for a transition specialist who assists students with special needs entering the workforce.
The application deadline was stated as occurring in April. A board member moved to approve submission of the application; the board voted "aye" and the chair closed the item.
Why it matters: Carl Perkins dollars fund CTE equipment and staff development; the board's approval permits staff to pursue the federal grant and later amend the application if the award amount changes.
