Funds made available under this Act for career and technical education activities are provided to supplement and supplant non-federal funds expended to carry out career and technical education activities. Purpose The funds are to be used to provide supplementary support services for individuals participating in career and technical education programs offered in State correctional institutions. The services are to assist these individuals to successfully complete career and technical education programs that prepare them for high skill, high wage, or high demand occupations that will lead to self-sufficiency. Targeted Population Individuals in State correctional institutions who are participating in career and technical education programs offered in the institutions. Eligible Recipients Secondary Corrections Grant: Iowa Department of Human Services' Iowa State Training School for Boys Adult Correction Grant: Iowa Department of Corrections Funds received by the eligible recipients may be used to secure services from educational agencies that are under contract with the recipient agency to provide career and technical education programs to individuals who are in correctional institutions. Funding Provisions Funds reserved for this initiative are allocated between the two sectors Funds will be allocated based upon each eligible correctional institution’s relative portion of contact hours for students in career and technical programs. In accordance with this guidance, the capacity of each institution was calculated by considering the number of potential contact hours individuals may participate in career and technical education programs and/or services. It did not include the potential contact hours generated by work-related opportunities as this does not meet the definition of "career and technical education program" included in the Perkins V Act. Through analysis of data provided by the Department of Human Services, it was determined that career and technical education programs conducted by the two agencies generated the following contact hours during the 2021-2022 academic year. The Department of Human Service’s State Training School for Boys offered 32,670 hours of instruction. The Department of Corrections documented that career and technical education programs administered by that agency included 105,069 hours of instruction. A combined total of 137,739 hours. Based on these data, the funds reserved for corrections for FY23 (2022-2023 academic year) are allocated as follows. Department of Human Services' Iowa Training School for Boys: 23.72% or $23,718.77Department of Corrections: 76.28% or $76,281.23 Requirements for Reporting and Requesting Reimbursement The approval and the reimbursement of expenditures are contingent upon: 1) the activities being operated in accordance with the action plans; 2) the assurances provided via the application; 3) the rules and regulations per the U.S. Department of Education General Administrative Rules (EDGAR), and the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act 4) the submittal of required reports; and 5) the availability of federal funds.
