Current Narrative:
Minnesota distributes 10% of the Basic Grant funds available for distribution to local school districts and colleges on the basis of this modified formula:
a. One half on the ratio of the geographic area of the consortium to the geographic area of the state. Such a distribution recognizes that geographically sparse regions have additional costs associated with such sparsity, especially with the emphasis in the Minnesota plan on consortium development and operations.
b. One half on the basis of participation in career and technical education programs weighted 3 to 1 for secondary participants. Such a distribution rewards high quality career and technical education programs that attract high levels of participation, but recognized through its secondary weighting that guidance activities and pre–career and technical programming that had been supported in secondary schools by tech prep funds remain an important focus of each new consortium.
Once the above formula is applied across the new consortium structure, the share for secondary and postsecondary respectively will be based on the 42/58 split consistent with the other allocated dollars.
