d. 1. D. You Must Describe How, in the Course of Developing Core Indicators of Performance and Additional Indicators of Performance, You Will Align the Indicators, to the Greatest Extent Possible, So That Information Substantially Similar to That Gathered for Other State and Federal Programs, or for Any Other Purpose, is Used to Meet the Act’s Accountability Requirements.

Current Narrative:
Secondary: Minnesota will align academic performance and graduation indicators with appropriate definitions under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and will use all ESEA sub-populations for disaggregating data. Minnesota aligns its definition of students with disabilities with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act.
Postsecondary: As indicated above under (2), the Perkins accountability indicators will be aligned to the System Accountability Measures. In addition, the approach for developing the Perkins accountability indicators is similar to one undertaken when the System Accountability Measures were developed.
Additionally, discussions have occurred at the system level to align the different definitions and measurement approaches used within various system units and Perkins is an integral part of that discussion. The long-term system goals is to have a data system that uses uniform definitions and consistent measurement approaches such that a CTE student will be viewed as a sub-indicator within a larger accountability system.
As the State refines the WIOA Plan performance indicators, these will be analyzed for alignment with the Carl D. Perkins IV accountability measures.
