School Board
Local Representatives
Community Engagement
Nathon:
Perkins V: States are allocated funding from the federal government to provide funding for CTE programs through Perkins. States receive different amounts based on many factors such as population and poverty level of areas.
State legislation then decides where funding goes from there through grants that are provided to school districts. As FCS Educators and FCS students, you can actually request a grant by writing out the needs of your classroom - grant writing is a great skill to gain as it can be extremely beneficial to your schools FCS program.
Provide the attendees with 8-10 minutes to go over the provided handout and make an action plan for Perkins funding in their state.
