Accountability

The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 provides an increased focus on the academic achievement of career and technical education students, strengthening the connections between secondary and postsecondary education, and improving state and local accountability.

Each state is responsible for developing an accountability system that assesses its effectiveness in achieving statewide progress in career technical education. The state adjusted levels of performance consist of five core performance indicators (1P1, 2P1, 3P1, 4P1, 5P1, and 5P2). These indicators are:

The data utilized to calculate the five core performance indicators is retrieved from the Higher Education Information System (HEI).

Perkins Monitoring Process

The intent of the monitoring guide is to review compliance of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Act of 2006 required program activities and services. The guide assures that the institution is meeting the fundamental expectations of the grant, which are stated in section 135 of federal Perkins legislation.

State Performance Targets

State performance targets for each Perkins IV indicator of performance in Secondary, Postsecondary and Adult are negotiated with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Vocational and Adult Education. For Year 1, performance targets were negotiated for three Secondary indicators. For Years 2, 3 and 4, performance targets were negotiated for all Secondary, Postsecondary and Adult indicators. Performance targets for Years 5 and 6 will be negotiated in 2011.
