SECONDARY
Funding allocations will be formula-based, as outlined in the Perkins Act. For the 2019-2020 Perkins V application, districts will be working on their Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA) to establish a baseline year. For the 2020-2021 application, the upload of the completed CLNA is required and districts will negotiate local performance targets. Once student performance data is available, districts will provide evidence of meeting these Perkins criteria. Each secondary applicant will review student performance on 1S1 (on-time graduation), 1S2 (extended graduation rate), and 2S1 (ELA), 2S2 (mathematics) and 2S3 (science) to determine student performance related to academic achievement. Districts will provide improvement plans for any failed indicators, and results of the CLNA will inform local investment of Perkins funds. For the 2021-22 application, the district will update the CLNA and describe specific plans to promote academic achievement.
POSTSECONDARY
Funding allocations to eligible recipients will be formula-based, as described in the postsecondary waiver request section. Each college will receive baseline accountability reports from the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges. The reports will include the three most recent years of college-specific and statewide performance indicator data disaggregated by student subgroups, special populations, and professional/technical programs offered at the colleges. The colleges will analyze the data and discuss findings with their stakeholder groups as part of their Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment. Performance will be addressed within a section of the local application. Colleges will be asked to identify strategies and develop a plan to lessen academic achievement gaps experienced by special populations, student subgroups, or students enrolled in specific programs that are performing poorly on 1P1 and 2P1 indicators.
Colleges offering state-approved CTE programs apply for Perkins funding through SBCTC’s Online GrantsManagement System (OGMS). Revised to reflect the priorities and requirements of Perkins V, the Perkins Plan application features six narrative sections focused on the CLNA process; equity and access; program size, scope, and quality; program implementation and partnerships; staff/faculty recruitment, retention, and professional development; and program improvement. Each section includes four to ten questions intended to fulfill the requirements of Section 134(b) of the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act. The application also includes a Budget Narrative section wherein colleges provide precisedescriptions of how they will utilize Perkins funding in 22 categories. There are 16 questions in the Grant and Fiscal Accountability section and a required Perkins Plan Assurances document that must be signed by the college president.
SBCTC hosts, records, and posts to its website an annual training webinar to explain the application process and provide technical assistance to applicants. As applications are received, the Program Administrator and Contract Specialist provide substantial feedback to colleges to ensure that applications meet the requirements of Perkins V and expectations of SBCTC. Agency feedback is recorded in OGMS and revisions are required prior to approval.
Discussed above, the Program Size, Scope, and Quality section of the Perkins Plan application requires colleges to outline in detail their program review processes and cite the industry standards, student learning outcomes, accrediting agencies, examinations, and other practices they use to assess their programs and students’ technical skill attainment. As of 2019, 24% of colleges perform in-depth individual program reviews annually, 47% every two to three years, and 29% every four to five years. Program review typically takes into account enrollment, retention, and completion data; job placement rates; salary/wage analyses; industry certification pass rates; student evaluations; and disaggregated demographic data to identify and analyze performance gaps. Program reviews often include an evaluation of program-specific and institution-wide student learning outcomes and are reviewed and approved by Workforce Deans, Vice Presidents of Instruction, and/or equivalent personnel.

Each secondary applicant will review the program quality indicator for Attained Recognized Post-Secondary Credential (5S1) and Attained Postsecondary Credit (5S2) as dual credit and early access to college provides advancement towards degree completion, and the industry recognized credential measure will contribute to the state’s credential obtainment.
Districts will provide improvement plans for any failed indicators, and results of the CLNA will inform local investment of Perkins funds. For the 2021-22 application, the district will update the CLNA and describe specific plans to promote academic achievement. The Perkins application will include support on how the eligible recipient plans to promote technical skill attainment.
This is further reinforced by the state’s CTE graduation pathway option which requires students that utilize this pathway to complete two credits of CTE through courses with access to dual credit or include or lead to an industry recognized credential of value.
POSTSECONDARY
Funding allocations to eligible recipients will be formula-based, as outlined in the Perkins Act. Each college will receive baseline accountability reports from the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges. The reports will include the three most recent years of college-specific and statewide performance indicator data on employment placement after program completion. The colleges will analyze the data and discuss the findings with professional/technical advisory committees and other stakeholder groups as part of their Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment. The college will also complete comprehensive reviews of their professional/technical programs on a periodic basis to ensure content is relevant to preparation for employment. Colleges will also analyze completion data to identify and mitigate barriers students may experience that negatively affect completions. Colleges will submit their strategic plan to promote skill attainment, including skill attainment that leads to a recognized postsecondary credential as part of their Local Application.
All Perkins applications include a discussion of employability skills and pathways-focused guidance and counseling services in the Size, Scope, and Quality section, and SBCTC has developed a monitoring rubric to enumerate the best practices being utilized at the local level. These include career exploration workshops, mock and on-campus interviews, resume workshops, credit-bearing career-readiness courses, online/interactive pathways tools, flipped classroom models, and contextualized instruction. A substantial number of these are features of two of the systems most comprehensive approaches to career and technical education – Guided Pathways and I-BEST.

Section 122 (d)(8)(A)
Describe how funds received by the eligible agency through the allotment made under section 111 of the Act will be distributed— Among career and technical education at the secondary level, or career and technical education at the postsecondary and adult level, or both, including how such distribution will most effectively provide students with the skills needed to succeed in the workplace;
Approximately $19.5 million of Perkins Basic Grant funds for Washington are distributed to the local level for required and permissive uses of funds. The Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board, the eligible agency in Washington, determines the relative portion of funds provided to the secondary and postsecondary partner agencies, respectively the Office of
Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.
In determining the secondary and postsecondary split, the Board examined enrollment and full- time equivalent counts for both systems’ career and technical education students, as well as compared the distribution splits in other states. Based on this analysis, the Board has determined that the split between secondary and postsecondary systems is set at 44/56 percent of Basic Grant funds, respectively. The Board retains the authority to reexamine the data should additional information become relevant to the issue.
OSPI, SBCTC, and the Workforce Board will jointly establish a workgroup to examine the existing funding split between secondary and postsecondary, with the delegated authority to amend the state plan. This group will develop proposals for formulaically maintaining and/or adjusting the funding split in future years, and come to a consensus determination to report to the Workforce Board. At a minimum, the workgroup will becomprised of representatives from OSPI, SBCTC, and the Workforce Board. The Workforce Board may elect to include other stakeholders as mandatory participants, and will encourage broad stakeholder engagement in thisprocess.
Formulaic proposals will be based on a data analysis that at a minimum examines the quantitative effects of adjusting the split, the number of students served by each sector as defined by both headcount enrollments and across sector normalized full time equivalents, and the existing level and availability of state and local funding support to CTE students in each sector. The analysis must further include an examination of the impact of changes on sub-recipients, especially rural serving institutions and school districts. Finally, formula proposalsmust include strategies such as ramped implementation to mitigate the effects of sudden formulaic changes to the funding split, achieved through a cap of the maximum percentage change in any given year. Workgroup partners will develop a rationale and “business rules” that specify the rationale for maintaining or modifying the split level and criteria for adjusting it in the future inclusive of the minimums enumerated above into a written report submitted to the Workforce Board.
The workgroup plans to conclude its planning by October 31, 2020 and will report to the state WorkforceBoard recommendations for funds that become available July 1, 2021, along with their rationale and criteria forfuture split discussions, at a fall meeting of the Workforce Board.
Section 122 (d)(8)(B)
Describe how funds received by the eligible agency through the allotment made under section 111 of theAct will be distributed— among any consortia that may be formed among secondary schools and eligible institutions, and how funds will be distributed among the members of the consortia, including the rationale for such distribution and how it will most effectively provide students with the skills needed to succeed in the workplace.
The secondary system has approximately 100 eligible recipients that do meet the minimum $15,000 Perkins grant. Of those, the majority request and are granted waivers. Presently, no consortia operateat the secondary level in Washington. OSPI has utilized Perkins Reserve funds in the past to incentivize small, rural districts to investigate possible consortia development, however there have been none established at thistime. If a consortium is developed, the initial allocations based on the Perkins formula for all members will be combined and any incentive reserve dollars will be added to the consortium’s allocation. School districts that apply for the waiver to the minimum allocation must demonstrate ability to meet the requirements for size, scope, and quality to be eligiblerecipients. Additionally, tribal compact schools will be added as eligible recipients of the Perkins Basic funds.
The postsecondary system has only one institution that does not qualify (based on size of enrollment) for a $50,000 minimum grant, so there are no postsecondary consortia in Washington.
For the upcoming program year, provide the specific dollar allocations made available by the eligible agency for career and technical education programs and programs of study under section 131(a)-(e) of the Act and describe how these allocations are distributed to local educational agencies, areas career andtechnical education schools and educational service agencies within the State.
The secondary distribution will be based on:
- 70 percent – the number of 5-17 year olds who reside in the school district from families with incomes below the poverty line (as defined by the Office of Management and Budget); and
- 30 percent – the number of 5-17 year olds who reside in the school district.
Adjustment to this formula occur only to drive the initial allocations of tribal compact schools and skill centers. Skill Center allocation are determined by considering the FTE as reported from each sending school district. After initial allocations are determined, any school districts that do not serve high school students, are not eligible for funding. The initial allocations are redistributed to the school districts that do serve students that continue into 9th grade. As initial allocations based upon census data are not available for tribal compact schools, a base of $5,000 have been included as the SAFS team considers additional funding drivers.

For the upcoming program year, provide the specific dollar allocations made available by the eligible agency forcareer and technical education programs and programs of study under section 132(a) of the Act and describe howthese allocations are distributed to eligible institutions and consortia of eligible institutions within the State.
Washington state proposes to distribute postsecondary Perkins basic grant as follows: ninety percent (90%) percent of funding will be distributed using a revised “Pell Plus” formula, nine percent (9%) will be distributed to colleges serving rural communities, and one percent (1%) will be distributed to colleges that have high CTE enrollments. The formula will use unduplicated enrollment data, analyzed annually from the two years preceding the current fiscal year with no caps. (For example, FY21 awards will be based on FY19 enrollment data.) All students coded with a workforce intent will be included in the data and the headcount will be determined for each postsecondary institution. Those institutions with a headcount that will result in an award of $50,000 or more will be allocated funds. The funds will then be distributed based on the percent of the total headcount. Currently, only one community college in Washington will not qualify for basic grant funding.
The first ninety percent (90%) of funds to be distributed to the colleges will be based on the revised “Pell Plus” formula using enrollment and financial aid data. It is the intent of the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges to identify all students participating in CTE programs and receiving need-based financial assistance to determine equitable distribution of Perkins Basic Grant funds to the colleges. The revised “Pell Plus” formula is described in Section 131(a)(3)
The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges will utilize the ten percent (10%) reserve option from the basicgrant funds to assist colleges identified as rural, or with a high number or high percent of CTE students.
Nine percent (9%) of the funding will be distributed to colleges serving rural communities. Rural colleges are those located in counties with population densities of less than 100 persons per square mile, based on data from the Washington Office of Financial Management. Counties not included in this definition are Clark, Island, King, Kitsap, Pierce Snohomish, Spokane and Thurston. Three counties are prorated to reflect portions of the county where the population meets the rural definition: Clark, Olympic and Clark.
The final one percent (1%) of funding will be distributed to colleges that have fifty percent (50%) or more of their student population enrolled in CTE programs. The percentage will be calculated from the number of students with a workforce intent code, divided by the college’s annual student headcount.

Section 131 (a)(3)
Describe how the eligible agency will adjust the data used to make the allocations to reflect any changes in school district boundaries that may have occurred since the population and/or enrollment data was collected, and include local education agencies without geographical boundaries, such as charter schools and secondary schools funded by the Bureau of Indian Education.
OSPI administers basic Perkins allocations to school districts that qualify, with a primary decision point being thatapproved state CTE programs are offered. At this time, there are no secondary charter schools that offer state approved CTE programs. If additional eligible sub-recipients are established, our OSPI School Apportionment and Financial Services (SAFS) department would adjust the data used to determine new allocations to include all qualifying entities. The SAFS team would apply ratios using Free and Reduced Price Lunch (FRLP) data to their federal census counts. This adjustment has not been needed in recent years, but would be an annual consideration based upon any new entities becoming eligible to receive federal Perkins funds.
As tribal compact schools will be added as eligible sub-recipients of the basic grant, the formula as described is difficult to follow, as there is no available federal census data. The SAFS department will utilize the school district census information that is located closest to the tribal compact school. Adjustments to the state’s allocations will be made to drive an initial allocation to the eligible tribal compact schools. Initial allocations are currently set at a base of $5,000.
Additional adjustments are necessary to provide funding to the state’s Skill Centers. The SAFS team reviews the enrollment data that demonstrates which school districts are sending students to the Skill Centers. Actual enrollment data is used to drive an adjustment to those districts initial allocations, providing the total allocation to the Skill Center, which acts as a regional career and technical school. FRLP rations are also considered in determining adjustments to allocations.
- If the eligible agency will submit an application for a waiver to the secondary allocation formula described in section 131(a)—
include a proposal for such an alternative formula; and
describe how the waiver demonstrates that a proposed alternative formula more effectively targets funds on the basis of poverty (as defined by the Office of Management and Budget and revised annually in accordance with section 673(2) of the Community Services Block Grant Act (42 U.S.C. 9902(2)) to localeducational agencies with the State. (Section 131(b) of Perkins V)
Also indicate if this is a waiver request for which you received approval under the prior Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV).
NOT APPLICABLE at this time.
If the eligible agency will submit an application for a waiver to the postsecondary allocation formula describedin section 132(a)—
include a proposal for such an alternative formula; and
describe how the formula does not result in a distribution of funds to the eligible institutions or consortiawith the State that have the highest numbers of economically disadvantaged individuals and that analternative formula will result in such a distribution. (Section 132(b) of Perkins V) Also indicate if this is awaiver request for which you received approval under the prior Carl D. Perkins Career and TechnicalEducation Act of 2006 (Perkins IV).
Washington state proposes to adjust its current “Pell Plus” formula to be inclusive of all CTE student enrollees who are receiving federal or state need-based financial aid. The current “Pell Plus” formula includes only three of the six need-based financial aid programs currently available to economically disadvantaged students. Enrollment data will capture an unduplicated count of students with a workforce intent who are Pell/BIA, Worker Retraining, welfare and former welfare, SNAP-E&T, Opportunity Grant, and Washington College Grant recipients.
The state’s previous “Pell Plus” formula was approved by OVAE for use beginning with Perkins III and continued under Perkins IV. Pell/BIA, Worker Retraining, and/or welfare and former welfare recipients who were enrolled in CTE programs were included in the previous “Pell Plus” formula.
If the eligible agency will award reserve funds to eligible recipients under section 112(c) of Perkins V, describe the process and criteria for awarding those funds.
SECONDARY
OSPI will continue to strategically invest reserve funds to incentivize progress in priority areas, as represented in the state’s leadership investment priorities. Reserve funds will be distributed to local programs for qualifying sub-recipients. Reserve funds may be distributed to districts that qualify by offering programs in rural areas, programs with high percentages or high numbers of CTE students, or areas with gaps in performance between groups of students. These funds will be spent in alignment with the Perkins requirements to foster innovation and support programs of study that are aligned with high-skill, high-wage, or in-demand occupations or industries. Eligible recipients will meet the criteria above, be an eligible school district, skill center, or tribal compact school, and will have completed an approved Perkins application.
Reserve funds are distributed through grants are administered separate grant applications. Grant applications provide a grant overview are either competitive, incentive, pilot, or pre-selected, depending upon the project. The selection criteria are described within the application, and alignment of Perkins Reserve priority areas are described within the application. This process will continue to be used to award reserve funding.
POSTSECONDARY
Ten percent (10%) of the postsecondary Perkins Basic Grant is distributed using a formula to rural colleges and colleges that have a high percentage of CTE participants. Rural colleges receive nine percent (9%) of the reserve funds and are defined as those colleges that include counties with population densities of less than 100 persons per square mile within their service district boundaries. Population density determinations are based on data from the Washington State Office of Financial Management. Three counties are prorated to reflect the portions of the counties that meet the rural definition – Spokane, Olympic and Clark counties. Colleges with a high percentage of CTE participants receive one percent (1%) of the reserve funds and are those colleges that have fifty percent (50%) or more of their student populations enrolled in CTE programs. The percentage is calculated from the number of students with a workforce education intent code, divided by the college’s annual student headcount. Bellingham Technical College, Lake Washington Institute of Technology, Renton Technical College, Clover Park Technical College and Bates Technical College all receive a portion of the one percent of reserve funds set aside for college that serve a majority of CTE students.
