Subject: Carl D. Perkins Grant Submitted by: C Fender

Strategic Target: 1.2a, 1.2b, 5.4b

Each year, usually during the summer months, the Director for Career and Technical Education (CTE) writes the Carl D. Perkins grant which is part of the 2006 Perkins Act. The purpose of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 , is: “to develop more fully the academic and career and technical skills of secondary education students and postsecondary education students who elect to enroll in career and technical education programs”

The Carl D. Perkins Act is intended to supplement, the educational programs generally offered with state and local resources. To be in compliance with this requirement, a district may not divert state and local funds from an activity merely because Perkins funds are available. In accordance with other federal funds, districts may only use Perkins money to provide supplemental services that would not have been provided had the Perkins funds not been available.

Everett Public Schools has submitted for this grant to OSPI the third week of August and is now waiting for final approval. The amount of the grant for this coming year is for $108,315.000
