This page reports the state funding of career technical education (CTE) of the traditional school districts, joint
vocational schools and community schools and the permissible uses of the funds in a biweekly guidance letter for the traditional districts
and a monthly letter for JVSs and community schools that details the areas of allowable expenditures in the context of each foundation payment
for CTE students receiving services in any one of the following 5 program categories:
- Category 1: WFD in Agriculture and Environmental
Systems, Construction Technologies, Engineering and Science Technologies,
Finance, Health Science, Information Technology and Manufacturing Technologies
- Category 2: WFD in Business Administration, Hospitality and Tourism, Human
Services, Law and Public Safety, Transportation Systems and Arts and
Communications
- Category 3: Career Based Intervention Programs
- Category 4: WFD in Education and Training, marketing, WFD in Academics, Public
Administration and Career Development
- Category 5: Family and Consumer Science Programs
In addition to the funding for the above categories of career tech students, the law also provides for a CTE guarantee
funding component in FY18 that is accounted for as part of the eligible CTE funding in this context.
Please note that since the FY18 CTE data have been finalized in time for inclusion in the FY18 February #2 foundation payment for the traditional districts and the
March payment for the JVSs and the community and STEM schools, we are now generating these guidance letters in conjunction with the February and each remaining
payment of this fiscal year. Since all of the entities have until the end of the fiscal year to adjust and improve the FY18 CTE data they have reported, the CTE
component of the foundation formula in every payment will be affected by these data changes throughout the rest of the fiscal year. Therefore we strongly encourage
you to pay particular attention to these guidance letters as they are released with each payment to ensure your actual CTE commitments are in line with your funding
and the expenditure requirements in the law. All entities have until September 30th 2018 to finalize their expenditure reports based on the guidelines provided in
these letters.
