Minnesota State Plan

The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV) directs how Perkins funds are used for secondary, postsecondary, and adult career and technical education (CTE). Perkins IV replaces the 1998 Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act (Perkins III).

Known as the Minnesota Perkins Five–Year Career and Technical Education (CTE) State Plan, a draft plan document has been prepared jointly by staff in the Office of the Chancellor, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and the Minnesota Department of Education. Minnesota submitted a one–year Transition Plan, which was approved by the U.S. Department of Education on July 1, 2007. The Transition Plan described how Minnesota intended to meet the intent of Perkins IV for FY2008 and laid the foundation for the five–year plan (July 1, 2008 – June 30, 2013).
