Background:
|
The Perkins V – Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act and Standards of Quality require each school division to develop and receive local School Board approval of a plan for Career and Technical Education that includes specific information regarding program and service descriptions and how grant funds will be used.
The Alexandria 2019-2020 Local Plan for Career and Technical Education describes activities and services proposed for the Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) Career and Technical Education program. The Plan also assures that all program activities and expenditures are in accordance with Perkins V and all applicable Virginia Public School Laws.
The Alexandria Plan will provide $309,794.33 to improve and modernize existing Career and Technical Education program offerings, provide support for English Learners (EL) and students with disabilities, update technology to align with industry standards, and provide staff development opportunities for instructional staff. Grant funding is allocated by a formula, based on the ACPS enrollment and special populations served.
The Alexandria Plan contains local assurances and conditions of the grant; Virginia and Perkins performance standards as identified in the CTE Annual Performance Report (APR); CTE Management Schedules; proposed new pathway plan of study in Education and Training (Teaching and Training); financial data; and proposed budget for the use of 2019-2020 federal funds.
