‘Social’ Influencers
Education remains top domestic issue.
Increased awareness about student achievement (school report cards, etc.)
Prevailing sentiment of a devalued high school diploma.

‘Social’ Influencer
A strongly and widely held belief that the system is broken. “American high schools are obsolete. By obsolete, I
mean that our high schools, even when they are working exactly as designed, cannot teach our kids what they need to know today. Training the workforce of tomorrow with high schools of today is like trying to teach kids about today’s computers on a 50-year-old mainframe. It’s the wrong tool for the times.”
--- Bill Gates, Founder and Chairman, Microsoft Corp.

More careers require postsecondary experiences (degree, certificate or credential).

… and then the President’s Budget Proposal
President’s proposal - Eliminate Perkins.
Rationale – PART Review
Perkins is Ineffective
![Page 14: NACTEI Conference Palm Springs, CA May 19, 2006 Presentation Overview Setting the Context Update on Legislation Themes in New Legislation Next Steps,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649efe5503460f94c12453/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
President’s Budget proposal
Repeat of 2004 budget proposal. Same rationale despite GAO report (10-05).
“Most PART recommendations are focused on improving outcome measures and data collection, and are not designed to result in observable short- term performance improvements.”
“There is limited evidence to date of the PART’s influence on outcome-based program results. “ Source - GAO 06-28 “Performance Budgeting: PART Focuses Attention on Program Performance, but More Can Be Done to Engage Congress

Thoughts to ponder …
What is your vision for CTE and then how does Perkins fit?
This should be a plan not an application for federal funding.
Be true to the legislative intent – these funds are to lead change and improve programs not be sustenance.
![Page 28: NACTEI Conference Palm Springs, CA May 19, 2006 Presentation Overview Setting the Context Update on Legislation Themes in New Legislation Next Steps,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649efe5503460f94c12453/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Thoughts to ponder …
Who and how will you engage stakeholder groups?
What will your local application look like? Should be a focus on quality! Business advisory committees? Documented alignment to standards? Use of data in decision-making? Role of demand Caps or mandatory minimums on uses of funds for
certain items.

Thoughts to ponder …
Didn’t get into legislation but there was sure talk of it:Statewide articulationNo use of funds on equipment to instead
focus on teaching and learning.4-year colleges.
