  30. PERKINS FUNDS AND REIMBURSEMENTS • SPECIAL ATTENTION ON SPENDING FOR: • Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) [Permissive Use] – may only use Perkins funds to send one advisor per student organization per school to any activity/conference • Remember that your 40% limit plays a role in how much you spend • Remember that you have regional, state and national competitions

  31. PERKINS FUNDS AND REIMBURSEMENTS • Teachers’ Tuition for College Courses • The expenditure must meet the following criteria: reasonable and necessary. • The use of funds must be cost effective. In other words: • If multiple teachers need a course, check to see if the tuition would be cheaper to offer a class in your division or region; and • you can’t pay for someone to take a college-level course in Hawaii during January when the same course is taught in Virginia.  The only way an out-of-state or out-of-region course would be approved is if it is not offered in Virginia or within your region. • Look for possible on-line courses or courses offered at your local community college or college/university.

  32. PERKINS FUNDS AND REIMBURSEMENTS • Teachers’ Tuition for College Courses • Funds may not be usedfor initial teacher licensure courses. • Funds may not be usedfor renewal of a teacher’s license. • Funds may be used to offer a tuition-paid class for multiple teachers when this is more cost effective option.

  33. PERKINS FUNDS AND REIMBURSEMENTS • Teachers’ Tuition for College Courses • Funds may be used for individual teachers who need additional education/training for courses they are teaching. • EXAMPLE:  Teachers with a Master’s degree who need additional courses to meet the requirement of 18 credit hours in the field of a dual enrollment course. • EXAMPLE:  Teachers who have their teaching license but need a college-level course to prepare for industry certification for their program area and courses. • EXAMPLE:  Division requires a teacher to take a course which will allow for flexibility in scheduling to meet student needs.

  34. PERKINS FUNDS AND REIMBURSEMENTS • Industry Credentialing • May be used for Site Licensing for Industry Certification Testing and is not contingent on all state industry certifications funds being expended • To utilize Perkins funds, it must be in your local plans (assessments) • Perkins funds cannot be utilized for student reimbursement until a school division has used all state industry certification funds • May be used for teacher industry credential training and testing if not offered by the DOE or classes were full
