District seeks acceptance of CTAE and Perkins grants; staff outlines intended uses
Summary
Staff summarized multiple state CTAE grants and federal Perkins funding, described uses (extended-day salaries, summer camps, equipment, testing, travel) and asked the board to accept FY26 federal Perkins grants; no recorded vote appears in the transcript.
Glynn County Schools staff provided a summary of state Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) grants and federal Perkins funding and asked the board to accept FY26 federal grants.
The presentation listed state grants that fund extended-day salaries for CTAE teachers ($134,323 for 25 teachers at Brunswick High, Glynn (GECA) and other sites), extended-year grants for ag teachers ($4,604 and $14,750 cited for different extended-year activities) and a $37,500 youth-apprenticeship grant to offset a coordinator salary. CTAE supervision funds of $29,139 were described as offsetting part of the CTAE director’s salary.
On the federal side, staff said the district received $20,000 in Perkins Plus (the maximum for the district size) to help cover EOPA testing —staff estimated total EOPA testing costs near $35,000 this year — and a larger Perkins Improvement Grant of $147,616 (about $8,000 more than the prior year). Staff outlined intended uses for the Perkins Improvement Grant: approximately $44,000 for instructional travel (CTSO competitions), $13,500 for non-computer instructional equipment, $24,500 for technology (cameras, computers), $19,000 for registration (including EOPA overage), $34,000 for staff development travel, $8,000 for instructor registration and $4,116 for director travel/registration. The CTA director’s costs were noted to be below the 5% maximum allowable administrative cap.
The presenter asked for board approval to accept the FY26 federal CTAE/Perkins grants; no recorded vote on the acceptance appears in the transcript.
Ending: Staff will proceed with grant acceptance steps pending formal approval and will use the funds for testing, equipment, travel and apprenticeship coordination as described.
