2022-2023 Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment Guidebook (Update)

One of the most significant changes introduced in the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) is the comprehensive local needs assessment (CLNA). The law states local eligible recipients must complete a comprehensive local needs assessment related to career and technical education once every two years. The 2022-2023 CLNA (SC5600) is required for local education agencies (LEAs) applying for 2022-2023 Perkins funding. The CLNA guidebook is designed to assist Texas LEAs with the completion of the local needs assessment. The local needs assessment process is intended to be a regular part of a LEA's data-driven decision making and program improvement system.

Perkins V State Plan

On July 31, 2018, the president signed the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) into Law. Perkins V includes key changes that will impact the implementation of CTE programs, such as an added emphasis on programs of study, the addition of a Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment, and the introduction of new program quality indicators. The Texas Perkins V four-year state plan, covering all of the requirements of the Act, will be submitted to the US Department of Education upon approval by the Governor and State Board of Education in spring 2020.
The full plan can be viewed here:

Autocoding Information

The transition from self-reported data to an autocoded course completion system reported in PEIMS is effective for the 2020-2021 school year. The Perkins V Indicator report is generated from this data set to measure the performance of CTE programs in Texas at the local and state levels. The following resources will provide local education agencies (LEA) and stakeholders with information on the new autocode system. LEAs interested in developing a local version of the CTE autocode system can access the technical documents at PEIMS Calculation Tech Tips (updated for 2022-23) under CTE auto calculation.

Texas CTE Indicator Autocoding Codes and Definitions

Code 4 Not CTE

A Student who never completed any high school CTE courses.

Code 5 CTE Participant

A student who completes wither one high school CTE course for any number of credits or more than one high school CTE course for less than two credits (the student does not have to pass or receive credit).

Code E CTE Explorer*

A student who completes two or more high school CTE courses for a total of two or more credits and not a Participant, Concentrator, or Completer (the student does not have to pass or receive credit), or A student who completes, possess, and receives enough credits to be coded as a Concentrator or Completer in a Regional Program of Study, but completes the year in an unapproved region.

Code 6 CTE Concentrator

A student who completes and passes two or more high school CTE courses for a total of at least two credits within the same Program of Study and not a Completer.

Code 7 CTE Completer

A student who completes and passes three or more high school CTE courses for a total of four or more credits, including one level three or level four course, from within the same Program of Study.
*Regional programs of study may be approved in ESC geographic regions where there is specialized regional labor market demand for specific occupations. Students who complete the school year in an unapproved region and are a code 6 (Concentrator) or code 7 (Completer) in a regional program of study outside of approved geographic ESC regions are reassigned as a code E (Explorer).

Sample Accountability Reponses for Perkins Grant

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
House Bill (HB) 1842, 84th Texas Legislative Session, 2015, in part amended Chapter 12 of the Texas Education Code (TEC) to create districts of innovation (DOIs). School districts are eligible for this designation if the districts meet certain performance requirements and follow certain procedures for adoption as outlined in Statute. The designation allows a district to be exempt from certain sections of the TEC that inhibit the goals of the district as outlined in the locally adopted innovation plan. The term of the designation as a district of innovation may not exceed five years.

Pursuant to the legislation, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) is required to post all current local innovation plans on the agency's internet website. This year (2021) marks five years since eligible districts first began to take the procedural steps to locally adopt a plan for designation as a DOI and the agency began publicly posting a list of districts that have notified the commissioner of their designation.

The purpose of this correspondence is to notify DOI-designated school districts that TEA will be updating the list of districts on its District of Innovation webpage to reflect only those whose DOI plan terms are current. If your district's local innovation plan term expires prior to the start of the 2021-2022 school year and your district has chosen not to take the procedural steps to renew your local innovation plan, your district will be removed from the TEA's District of Innovation webpage on August 1, 2021. For information regarding the renewal process, please see the agency's District of Innovation renewal guidance document. The renewal of a DOI plan is a local determination. Districts may choose to allow their local innovation plan to expire and must come back into compliance with all previously exempted sections of the TEC upon expiration of the plan.

It is the responsibility of the district to maintain compliance with all rules and regulations related to DOIs in TEC, Chapter 12A, and 19 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 102, Subchapter JJ, as well as all legal requirements for which an exemption cannot be claimed. For districts that choose to renew their DOI plan, please note that the districts must review all sections of the plan and previously adopted exemptions. All districts are encouraged to consult with their legal counsel regarding the effect of any exemption claimed and its continued implementation, if applicable.

For questions regarding this correspondence, please contact the Division of Accreditation at accred@tea.texas.gov.

(d) Beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, certifications recognized for the purpose of public school accountability shall meet the following criteria. (1) Certification. A certification is defined as a validation or license that indicates an individual possesses certain industry-specific skills and that meets two or more of the following criteria: (A) the certification is related to the performance requirements of a career or occupation, measured against a set of industry-accepted standards, and not dependent upon a particular curriculum or program; (B) the certification is earned by successfully completing an assessment that demonstrates an individual's proficiency of the prescribed standards; or (C) the certification is a time-limited credential that must be maintained through ongoing professional training and/or testing requirements. (2) Industry recognized and valued. (A) A certification is industry recognized and valued if the certification is: (i) referred to the Texas Education Agency (TEA): (I) by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) as part of the inventory of industry-recognized credentials approved by the industry-based certification advisory council authorized by Texas Labor Code, §312.002; or (II) directly using a process identified and implemented by TEA and published on the TEA website if the certification is not referred to TEA by TWC under subclause (I) of this clause; and (ii) determined to be valued by a representative sample of employers, as demonstrated in at least one of the following ways: (I) inclusion of the certification in job postings as required or highly recommended; (II) use of the certification as a factor in selecting candidates for an interview or for hire; or (III) offer of higher pay for individuals who possess the certification. (B) If a determination of value under subparagraph (A)(ii) of this paragraph is not made prior to referral under subparagraph (A)(i)(I) of this paragraph, TEA may use a third-party organization with expertise in gathering information from employers related to the value of industry-based certifications to directly contact groups of employers and report to TEA regarding whether the standards under subparagraph (A)(ii) of this paragraph have been met. (3) Attainable by a high school student. All eligibility requirements such as age and experience can be met and the certification awarded before or within the summer after a student's high school graduation. (4) Portable. The certification can: (A) be transferred seamlessly to postsecondary work through acceptance for credit or hours in core program courses at an institution of higher education; (B) be counted toward hours in an aligned apprenticeship program; (C) be part of a prescribed coherent sequence of industry-recognized credentials to show progressive skills development; or (D) support employment in more than one region of the state. (5) Certifying entity. The assessment of the knowledge and skills required to obtain the certification is provided by or determined by an independent, third-party certifying entity using predetermined standards for knowledge, skills, and competencies. (6) Capstone or end-of-program. A certification assessment is taken at the culmination of a single high school course or multiple related courses within a secondary program of study. There must be at least 50% overlap between the certification assessment standards and: (A) the essential knowledge and skills for a secondary course aligned to the career cluster associated with the certification assessment; or (B) the applicable essential knowledge and skills for a set of courses within a program of study in a secondary career and technical education program.

Date: | December 12, 2019
Subject: | House Bill 3 (HB 3) Implementation: CCMR Outcomes Bonus Allowable Expenses
Category: | Funding Implications
Next Steps: | Share with appropriate staff

The College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) Outcomes Bonus provided by House Bill 3 (HB 3) of the 86th Texas Legislature and signed by Governor Abbott on June 12, 2019, supports the state’s mission to prepare every child for success in college, career, or the military.  The items within HB 3 are aligned to the state’s 60x30 goals and provide funding to incentivize and reward innovation and achievement for districts who are demonstrating this alignment.  CCMR Outcomes Bonuses are paid annually for the accomplishments of graduates above a certain percentage threshold.  The purpose of the threshold concept is to ensure equity amongst the three groups measured: economically disadvantaged; non-economically disadvantaged; and students served in special education programs. Visit the HB 3 FAQs web page or view the August 8th CCMR HB 3 in 30 video for more details.

Purpose of Funds
The purpose of the CCMR Outcomes Bonus is to reward districts for not only preparing students for college, a career, and the military, but for students taking the next step in their career planning by enrolling in postsecondary institutions, completing a credential, and/or enlisting in the military.

Amount of Funds
Districts will receive the following amounts for qualifying students that exceed the threshold performance set for each group (the threshold performance matches performance within each group meeting the CCMR standard at the 25th percentile of performance statewide).  Special education students would count towards either economically disadvantaged or economically disadvantaged in addition to the special education group. ….

Type of Student | Dollar Amount
Eco Dis | $5,000
Non Eco Dis | $3,000
Sped | $2,000

CCMR Outcomes Bonus Funding Guidelines
CCMR Outcomes Bonus funding for 2019-2020 will be generated from each district’s 2017-2018 annual graduates’ data, using thresholds set with 2016-2017 annual graduates’ data.

HB 3 requires 55 percent of the outcomes bonus funds to be spent on students in grades 8–12 and for activities related to college, career, or military readiness. Spending requirements will be posted to the Financial Accountability System Resource Guide (FASRG).
Once the district meets the 55 percent minimum spending on CCMR for grades 8-12, the district can determine the best use for remaining funds.

Allowable Use of Funds
Allowable use of CCMR Outcomes Bonus funds fall within categories related to: teacher training and professional development on CCMR content; student preparation for CCMR content; counseling and advising services; work-based learning; advanced academics; and College and Career Readiness School Models.  Funds may be used for expenses that include equipment, supplies, salaries, stipends, tutors, software/subscriptions, rentals, transportation, or any expense incurred to prepare students for an opportunity to meet the measures tied to the CCMR Outcomes Bonus. The following are examples of how the funds may be used in each category.

Teacher training and professional development for CCMR content may include:

Presenting at or traveling to and from training related to AP, IB, Dual Credit, ACT, SAT, TSIA, early college school models, CTE, AVID, ASVAB, NJROTC, WBL, as well as, counseling and advising students for college and careers.

Equipment and supplies associated with providing teacher training and professional development for CCMR content.

Extra-duty pay provided for teachers while writing curriculum to integrate College and Career Readiness Standards.

ASVAB preparation.

Expense for preparation and/or earning an industry-based certification, excluding the one a student chooses for reimbursement.

Outreach sessions for students and parents with CCMR content, including participation in courses with college credit earning potential (including AP, IB, and Dual Credit) and earning CTE Industry-Based Certifications.

Work-based learning (WBL) opportunities may include:
