TO THE ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESSED:
Re: Career and Technology Education (CTE) Funding Changes
The purpose of this letter is to communicate a policy change that
affects the funding of certain career and technology education courses.
Rider 64 to the General Appropriation Act (House Bill 1) directs
the commissioner of education to identify career and technology courses
“least in need of the additional funding provided by the allotment,”
and further directs that no funds appropriated for career and technology
education shall be used to provide weighted funding for those courses
identified below. Courses to be excluded from career and technology
weighted funding for the 2006-07 biennium include:
| Program Area |
Course Name |
PEIMS# |
| Business |
Business Law |
12022400 |

Banking and Financial Systems |

While these courses will no longer be funded with the career and technology
weight, they are still considered valid career and technology courses
and must be reported through PEIMS as applicable. For PEIMS reporting
purposes these courses may be reflected on the 090, 170 and 415 records.
Student attendance for these courses will not be reported on the 410
record. Since these specific courses are not eligible for funding
as career and technology, they would not be reported as contact time
through the 410 record.
Questions concerning the policy may be directed to Robert N. Jocius,
Senior Director, State Funding at (512) 475-3925.
Sincerely,
Ernie Zamora, Ph.D.
Associate Commissioner Support Services and School Finance
