COMMITTEE GIVES
DIRECTIONS FOR
89-90 FUNDING
The Committee for Finance and Pro-
grams of the S.B.O.E. continued their discus-
sion on alternative funding patterns for voca-
tional education for the school year 1989-90
during their March 12 meeting.
During their February meeting, the
Committee asked staff to collect data, for the
March meeting, about the possible affects the
elimination of vocational funding for some
course offerings would have on selected
school districts.
Dr. Tom Anderson reported that 25
school districts were selected for the sample,
including school districts which presented
testimony at the Master Plan Update public
hearing. He noted that while most of the
districts reflected a negative impact, it is an-
ticipated that the same districts will add
courses emphasized in the new Master Plan
initiatives and priority occupations which
would eliminate the negative impact.
After discussion by the Committee, staff
was directed to bring forward rules to imple-
ment the following directives: (1) funding will
drive implementation of the Master Plan; (2)
the Master Plan initiatives established by the
Board will be given top priority when re-
quested by districts; (3) occupationally spe-
cific programs addressing priority occupa-
tions will receive high priority when requested
by districts; (4) incentives will be made
available to support start-up cost of new
master plan initiatives; (5) introductory indus-
trial technology at grades 7-8 will not be voca-
tionally funded; (6) industrial technology at
grades 9-12 will be vocationally funded; (7)
career investigation at grades 7-12 will not be
vocationally funded; and (8) Coordinated
Vocational Academic Education at grades 7-
8 will not be vocationally funded. # # # #

FUNDED PROJECTS
Funds for Curriculum Centers Delayed
The State Board of Education approved a request for authorization to issue requests for
proposals and applications for projects for 1988-89 under the Carl D. Perkins Vocational
Education Act. The recommended projects are to continue the implementation process for
the Master Plan for Vocational Education.
The Board delayed approval of authorizing the issue of funds for curriculum center
projects, amounting to $1,246,049.00, for one month in order that the proposed curriculum
projects be reviewed in relation to the list of priority occupations.
The Committee for Finance and Programs requested an evaluation of the projects,
especially those concerning projects relating to: Single Parents and Homemakers; Elimina-
tion of Sex Bias and Sex Stereotyping; Adult Training and Retraining; Community Based Or-
ganization/Local Education Agency; and Criminal Offenders Serving in Correctional Institu-
tions. The evaluations are to contain Information on how the participants are affected and
the program purposes achieved rather than merely simple participant counts.
Dr. Tom Anderson advised that the total costs for the rcommended projects were
estimated and are to be provided to the Joint Liaison Committee which will meet in April to
consider recommendations to the Board. Dr. Anderson stated that funds recommended for
program improvement were less than last year and that actual expenditures for last year's
projects have been less than the estimated amounts. # # # #
