Providing real-world experiences in our CTE classes for students is a priority for many educators. CTE grants are our way to provide opportunities to students when district and school budgets are limited.  

Our grants and Federal and State funded, and they offer funds to be used for specific purposes that do NOT need to be repaid; our district does match our funds. 

Perkins V Funding

The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, which amended the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV), was signed into law on July 31, 2018. The amended act, now Perkins V, changes the $1.2 billion annual federal career and technical education (CTE). The U.S. Department of Education is looking forward to working with states to implement the new legislation, which went into effect on July 1, 2019, and provides new opportunities to improve CTE and enables more flexibility for states to meet the unique needs of their learners, educators, and employers. 

Career Technical Incentive Grant (CTEIG) Funding

The California Career Technical Education Incentive Grant (CTEIG) is a state education, economic, and workforce development initiative to provide pupils in kindergarten through grade twelve, inclusive, with the knowledge and skills necessary to transition to employment and postsecondary education.

Strong Workforce Grant (SWP)

In the summer of 2018, the California legislature introduced the K12 Strong Workforce Program (K12 SWP) as an ongoing statewide funding opportunity. It is designed to support K–12 local education agencies (LEAs) in creating, improving, and expanding career technical education (CTE) courses, course sequences, programs of study, and pathways for students transitioning from secondary education to postsecondary education to living-wage employment.
