Financial Requirements
The United States Government releases over $1 billion each year to support the Carl D. Perkins Act of 2006. From this allotment, the state of Ohio receives between $40-50 million that is distributed to Secondary, Adult and Postsecondary Career and Technical schools. Consequently, 20 percent is distributed to the adult and postsecondary institutions funded through Perkins. The funds are allocated based on a state formula that has been approved by United States Department of Education (USDE). Once the campuses are awarded funds, they must follow federal and state spending guidelines.
Ohio’s financial distribution will follow all requirements of section 135 of Perkins Act. All required and permissible uses of funds as described in the Act apply under Ohio’s Five-Year Plan. Applicants will be able to select the required uses of funds they wish to address.
- All expenditures must have supportable rationale for how they will align to the Ohio Perkins Vision outlined above and impact performance levels on performance indicators identified in the “Accountability and Evaluation” section of the Plan.
- Highly encouraged expenditures will be those that directly connect to:
- “Support for learner success” strategies that identify the way students best learn in career-technical programs and provide appropriate interventions to help all students in career-technical programs achieve at a high level; 135(b)(1)(A)(B); (6); (9)
- Student success in grades 7-10; 135(b)4(B)
- Student success in becoming a successful secondary “completer” in a Tech Prep Program of Study; 135(b)(1)(A)(B); (2); (4)(B);
