- CTE coherent sequence students are defined as students reported in the Fall 2009 PEIMS data collection under Career and Technical Education Indicator Code 2 or Code 3.
- School districts are eligible to apply for funding as stand-alone applicants if they have 10 or more CTE coherent sequence students and are eligible for at least $15,000 in Perkins funding.
- Open-enrollment charter schools may apply for funding as stand-alone applicants if they have 5 or more CTE coherent sequence students and are eligible for at least $15,000 in Perkins funding.
- LEAs with at least 1 CTE coherent sequence student, but which fall below 10 CTE coherent sequence students for a school district or 5 CTE coherent sequence students for a charter school, may apply for funding as members or fiscal agents of shared services arrangements (SSAs).
