5. Outcome Metrics History
HB 2556 established the TEA in 2007 and includes a statutory provision to develop Outcome Metrics (K.S.A , sub‐section 4):
“Develop benchmarks and accountability indicators of programs to be utilized in the awarding of state funding and make recommendations relating thereto to the state board of regents”
• Spring/Summer 2012: Input collected from key B&I
stakeholders and colleges
• Fall 2012: TEA recommends and KBOR approved
• Measures identified:
• Employment
• Wages
• Credentials

6. Outcome Metrics Measures
Performance-based funding pilot
Institutions may receive incentive funding by achieving metrics
Measures & Targets: Of the students completing an approved exit point and exiting postsecondary education;
80% must be employed by the end of the 2nd quarter following the end of the academic year
the wage for those students must be 95% of the statewide entry level wage for the occupation corresponding to the field of study as reported in the Kansas DOL Wage Survey
90% must earn the industry‐recognized program credential documented per program alignment

7. Target Development
Foresight 2020 goals provided guiding rationale to determine student cohort and develop targets to align with state level goals. Specifically:
“Increase, to 60%, the number of Kansas adults that have a certificate, credential, associate’s degree or bachelor’s degree by 2020”, and to “Achieve a ten percentage point increase in retention and graduation rates.”

8. Target Development: Employment and Credentials
Credential attainment and employment targets set based on system‐level performance on Perkins Core Indicators
(Council of Occupational Education (COE) benchmarks are lower than Kansas system-level performance. Higher Learning Commission (HLC) does not measure these performance metrics)
Core Indicator
1P1: Skill Attainment
89.47%
90.52%
92.34%
93.30%
4P1: Student Placement with DOL Results
85.59%
79.93%
80.68%
79.88%

9. Target Development: Wages
To set a target for wages, statewide entry level wage data by occupation was used.
95% of the statewide average wage was recommended as target in response to concerns regarding regional wage variance.

10. Pilot Program Parameters
Perkins requirements applicable to use of incentive funds
Minimum of at least FIVE students must complete an exit point and exit postsecondary education for each measure reported (FERPA and HEOA guidelines) for incentive funding eligibility
Participating programs must meet minimum targets in all 3 metrics for incentive funding eligibility

13. Program Alignment Requirements
Please note requirements for programs your institution offers
All information on Program Alignment can be found:
elopment/program_alignment
Industry-recognized certifications required are specific to each “exit point”

14. And now…
3rd year of the pilot included all of the same 14 program areas; expanding to include all institutions delivering these programs. All institutions participate in all programs they offer which are in the pilot program list. (TEA approved October, 2015)
Incentive funding will continue to be provided from the Carl D. Perkins grant, adjusting according to funding availability and number of programs reaching targets
AY2015 results will be presented to the TEA during the January 2017 meeting. (Incentive fund and grant timeframes to be determined.)
The pilot programs meeting all three targets, based on AY2015 data, will receive recognition funding for those programs that met all three metrics (amounts to be determined)
For those programs meeting at least two metrics, institutions will have the opportunity to apply for grant funds (Outcome Metrics Performance Enhancement) per program to improve results in one of the pilot programs offered at the institution (amounts to be determined)

15. Results Sources
The Kansas Training Information Program (K-TIP) provides institution results for:
percentage of graduates exiting postsecondary education and becoming employed, and
the wage for those students as reported in the Kansas DOL Wage Survey or from institution Follow Up Collection
Industry-recognized program credentials earned in accordance with Program Alignment requirements results comes from Institution Follow Up Collection
