How can we help?

3. What can consortia expect?
1. The local application due May 15, 2019 will be modified from the current form. The application will include a narrative describing the consortium’s transition plans, major changes to the plan in general, accurate documentation of the consortium’s programs of study and the full budget request.
2. No performance target negotiations will occur for the consortium’s work July 1, 2019 through June 30, During that time the state will be working to confirm the performance indicators and target for the award beginning July 1, 2020.
Major Changes- Examples would include personnel changes and record of request for changes that were part of reallocation or allocation.

4. What can consortia expect?
3. Local consortia will need to begin gathering and analyzing data for the required needs assessment. This provides a lever to examine old habits and practices including structure and membership of the consortium.
4. Consortia will submit a 2-year application on or before May 15, 2020 for allocation distribution July 1, That 2-year application must include a comprehensive needs assessment.
Major Changes- Examples would include personnel changes and record of request for changes that were part of reallocation or allocation.

5. What can consortia expect?
5. An APR will be required Oct. 15, It will be the program report of your last year of work under Perkins IV- July 1, 2018-June 30, 2019.
6. Professional development for Perkins leadership will occur July 31, 2019 so that all are prepared for the changes.
Major Changes- Examples would include personnel changes and record of request for changes that were part of reallocation or allocation.

8. Minnesota Perkins Local Application for submission May 15, 2019   Part 1 Summary Narrative (FY19 as the foundation) Refer to your FY19, Summary Narratives (parts one; 4 questions and two; 4 questions) in answering the following questions: 1) Required: How does your consortium application propose to use your local needs assessment to support the career and technical programs selected? 2) Required: How does your consortium application reflect the increased attention on recruitment and retention of teachers? 3) Optional: If your consortium is proposing major changes to your FY19 Summary Part 1 or 2, in the space below, identify the question whose response you are changing and describe the change below.

9. Goal Narration and Budget Requests
Goal 1 Develop Rigorous Programs of Study and Career Pathways
Describe changes from your FY19 local consortium plan that will be implemented as you transition to Perkins V. In addition, document your progress and plans on designing, implementing, and improving your POS. Progress and plans should include providing professional development, initiating local needs assessment, TSAs and/or industry recognized credentials.
The consortium must balance the local needs assessment and the expectation that all learners have equitable access to career opportunities.
The goal by local application is to have each consortium provide opportunities--POS--in all six career fields. POS is defined as “coordinated nonduplicative sequence of academic and technical content at the secondary and postsecondary level.”
Resource: Perkins V Section 3 (41). Again, the sequence must include both the secondary and the postsecondary content.

10. Goal Narration and Budget Requests
Goal 2 Partner with business industry, and local communities
Describe changes from your FY19 local consortium plan that will be implemented as you transition to Perkins V. In addition, document your collaborative efforts to improve CTE.
Examples should include, advisory committees, partnerships with ABE, business and industry, workforce centers, and CTSOs.
Experiential learning and formal work-based learning experiences with business and industry should be documented.

11. Goal Narration and Budget Requests
Goal 3 Improve services to special populations
Describe changes from your FY19 local consortium plan that will be implemented as you transition to Perkins V noting the new categories of special populations.
In addition, document your strategies to ensure access and success of special populations and non-trad in CTE.
Examples should include professional development around career advisement, culturally competent curriculum revisions, outreach efforts to recruit and retain special populations of students.
Resource: Perkins V Section 3 (48)
Special Populations: individuals with disabilities, economically disadvantaged including low income youth and adults, individuals preparing for non-traditional fields, single parents including single pregnant women, out-of-workforce individuals, English learners, homeless individuals, youth who are in or have aged out of foster care system, youth with a parent who is a member of the armed forces and is on active duty

12. Goal Narration and Budget Requests
Goal 4 Provide a continuum of services for students
Describe changes from your FY19 local consortium plan that will be implemented as you transition to Perkins V.
Examples should include early college credit opportunities, articulation agreements, career and college readiness activities, transition of adult learners into the workforce, and brokering with other consortia.

13. Goal Narration and Budget Requests
Goal 5 Support/strengthen the consortium
Describe your consortium’s configuration, systems, and operations. Putting students’ needs first, what actions will you take during the transition year to address the 2020 consortia criteria?
Actions may need to include reconfiguring membership, proposing new governance models, sharing personnel, and expanding brokering. Be bold, innovative, and focused on continuous improvement and providing equitable access.
2020 Consortia criteria:
In the Minnesota 4-year State Application consortium is defined as having:
Minimum of one school district + one postsecondary Minnesota State College
Minimum of 6 programs of study
Of these 6 programs of study, a minimum of 4 career fields must be represented
All components of 3 of the 4 POS by career field must be provided within the consortium
(In other words only 1 of the 4 POS can be brokered.)
Greater than CTE participants at the secondary level (based on most recent data year) AND greater than 1800 FYE at the postsecondary level (based on most recent data year)
Statement of Assurances: This is the opportunity to reaffirm your consortium's membership AND provide the first communication regarding consortia changes.
What’s important?
Providing quality

14. Why examine our consortium?
Do we have the resources to provide POS that
Meet local needs assessment?
Provide equity of access to ensure experiences and opportunities across career fields?
Do you have the capacity to provide professional development, meet performance indicators, and serve all partners and learners?
Does the consortium have the fiscal resources to both administer the grant requirements (e.g. performance indicators, reporting timelines) and meet the needs of the learners at the secondary and postsecondary level?
