Subject:
2023-24 Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA) for Perkins Program Year 2024-25
Date:
October 13, 2023
The Viva88 Office of CTE has posted the updated 2023-24 CLNA for use in the development of the 2024-25 Perkins program year application. The performance targets in Chart 3 and the Performance Level Targets tab are not provided because finalized 2022-23 SIRS data is not yet available. Once the finalized data is available, we will establish the 2024-25 State Determined Performance Levels (SDPL). While we wait for the 2022-23 SIRS data to be finalized later this month, Perkins recipients can begin work using the workbook posted on The Office of CTE’s website.
