PGCPS says prior CTE enrollment figures were adjusted; district will supply corrected numbers
Summary
Officials told the committee that previously reported CTE enrollment figures were erroneous and have been corrected with the state; the district committed to deliver the most recent, corrected data to the council.
Committee members raised concerns about how many students the district reports as CTE concentrators compared with neighboring counties. Staff acknowledged a prior reporting error and promised corrected data.
"Our numbers for the last couple of years have been incorrect, and we've corrected those with the state after," a district official said, adding that the district resubmitted figures and would provide the most recent numbers to the committee. The committee chair cited a comparative stat that showed Prince George's at roughly 7% CTE enrollment versus Montgomery County's substantially higher rate; staff said state reporting conventions have changed and that local reconciling produced a higher corrected rate (staff referenced an internal recalculation to roughly 18%).
Staff also described the federal Perkins reporting requirement as a regular data source used to track graduates' postsecondary outcomes over multiple years, though they cautioned tracking is imperfect if students leave the state.
