State Career and Technical Education Funding

Each eligible recipient will serve as the fiscal agent for their State CTE allocation.

State CTE funds are intended to improve and expand high-quality CTE learning opportunities for all students. State CTE activities should align with the recipient’s reVISION outcomes and Local Perkins application (either as an individual district/college or part of a consortium). Click here to view all approved Local Perkins applications.

Such expenditures may represent any allowable use of Perkins funds, in addition to the following:

• Basic Tools
• Career and Technical Student Organizations (including expenses for advisors/sponsors such as conference registration and travel, and expenses for students, including uniforms)
• Student CTE industry recognized certification exams
• Consumable supplies and equipment for approved CTE programs
• Direct assistance to students to participate in CTE programming (e.g., transportation costs)
• Marketing/promotional expenses for CTE programs
• Membership/dues, subscriptions, and professional activities

Districts will need to complete a payment request within GMS based on the uploaded State CTE Budget. This budget with anticipated costs for which CTE state funds will be used should support the activities and strategies proposed throughout the reVISION local needs assessment. The budget template can be found here.

The State CTE funds will be distributed to LEAs upon submission of the reimbursement request. Unused State CTE funds may not be carried forward into another fiscal year.
