A Career and Technical Education (CTE) program is a program that has met criteria specified by the South Dakota Department of Education and is therefore eligible for Perkins Funding.
In short Perkins Funding helps give CTE certified programs funding to strengthen and expand their programs. This includes professional development, classroom equipment, and curriculum development to name a few. For more information expand Budget Application and Preparation and see the topics under Guidance at the SD Department of Education's CTE: Perkins page: https://doe.sd.gov/cte/perkins.aspx
