FY 2016 Appropriation

The CTE Set-Aside provides funding to "continue high priority CTE programs or to purchase equipment needed to initiate new CTE programs" (USOE Finance & Statistics, MSP Descriptions, November 2006).

Formula -- Each school district is guaranteed a base level of funding. School districts use these funds to start new programs, purchase equipment, or provide for program administration. Each school district receives under the program a base allocation of $10,000. The remaining allocation is divided among school districts in two ways; 50 percent proportionately based on prior year CTE ADM, and 50 percent through an RFP process.
