What Is Perkins V?
The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) sends formula funds to states for CTE programs. In Oregon, funds flow through ODE to regional consortia and then to schools with approved CTE pathways. Technology, engineering, and CS pathways are all eligible.
What Can Perkins Funds Cover?
CTE equipment, curriculum, and professional development for approved pathways. Forward Education kits qualify as CTE equipment and instructional materials for technology and CS pathways.

Next Steps
