3. Negotiated Performance Levels Perkins IV Plan Meetings

4. Local Negotiated Performance Levels In 2008-2009 Minnesota implemented new definitions of participant and concentrator and distributed funds under a new consortium structure. Our intent at the secondary level is to use 2007-2008 data as baseline data for 2008- 2009 in all areas except 1S1, 1S2 and 4S1 where 2007-2008 consortium data will be the negotiated performance targets for 2008-2009. We hope to have 2007-2008 data out soon. Perkins IV Plan Meetings

5. State Negotiated Performance Levels The state negotiated performance for 2007-2008 in: –1S1 Reading –1S2 Mathematics –4S1 Graduation Rate Perkins IV Plan Meetings

6. State Negotiated Performance Levels 1S1 Reading 1S2 Mathematics 4S1 Graduation Rate Perkins IV Plan Meetings Target 62.00% 32.00% 80.00% Actual 59.23% 21.69% 93.50% Meet 90% Level? Y N Y

7. State Negotiated Performance Levels Because the state did not meet targeted performance in 1S2 at the 90% level, it must prepare an action plan to improve performance. A similar expectation will be in place next year for consortia that do not show improvement on this year’s data in 1S1, 1S2 or 4S1. Action plans may need to address strategies specific to sub-populations (gender, race/ethnicity, special population status). Perkins IV Plan Meetings

8. Technical Skill Assessment Perkins IV Plan Meetings

9. Technical Skill Assessments Student attainment of career and technical skill proficiencies, including student achievement on technical skill assessments, that are aligned with industry-recognized standards, if available and appropriate. Perkins IV Plan Meetings

10. Technical Skill Assessments 2S1 Number of CTE concentrators who have earned at least 2 credits with passing grades within a career field by the reporting year Number of CTE concentrators who have earned at least 2 credits in the career field by the reporting year Perkins IV Plan Meetings

11. Technical Skill Assessments Minnesota plans to focus on identifying core skills within programs of study and then determine valid and reliable assessments for measuring attainment of these core skills. Perkins IV Plan Meetings

12. Technical Skill Assessments Perkins IV Plan Meetings Secondary CTE Programs Programs of Study Postsecondary CTE Programs 64 ??? 2892 For the purposes of accountability, technical skill assessment should be at the level of the Program of Study. This changes the discussion from an “assessment requirement” to a “data collection requirement.”

17. 2010 Budget Amounts Perkins IV Plan Meetings

18. Budgets for 2009-2010 Perkins IV Plan Meetings We continue to await information from the US Department of Education on the state’s allocation for 2009-2010. As a reminder, the secondary Perkins allocation is based on general population of individuals aged 5 through 17, and individuals of poverty aged 5 through 17.

19. Budgets for 2009-2010 Perkins IV Plan Meetings Minnesota has established an alternative formula for the distribution of 10% of the local allocation. This formula is based:  50% on the consortium’s share of participants in secondary and postsecondary CTE programs, and  50% on the geographic area of the consortium.

20. Budgets for 2009-2010 Perkins IV Plan Meetings At the secondary level, the US Department of Education has determined that we may no longer use free & reduced price meals as an indicator of poverty for the purpose of fund distribution. We must use US Census poverty data instead.

21. Budgets for 2009-2010 Perkins IV Plan Meetings Doing so will cause some shifts among consortia. We are recalculating the consortium budgets using US Census data and will apply the 2009-2010 Minnesota allocation when it is known. If it looks like it will be more than a few weeks before the state’s 2009-2010 allocation is determined, we will work with the US Department of Education to provide a reasonable estimate for planning purposes.
