CTE Program Applications

Districts are required to complete an annual CTE program consultation with the DOE Division of Career and Technical Education in conjunction with the SD-CLNA to maintain their program approval status. DCTE Regional Specialists will guide districts through this process on a one on one basis.

Perkins Reserve Grants

There is insufficient funding to offer a Perkins Reserve grant this year. There are still the Workforce Education Grant and the CTE Collaborative Equipment grants available.
