Upcoming Changes Regarding the Collection of Career and Technical Education (CTE) Data
Date: 
July 8, 2019

Beginning in the 2019-20 school year, the 小猪视频 State Education Department (小猪视频) will be implementing some changes to the way Secondary CTE data is reported from school districts, BOCES and charter schools (Local Education Agencies or LEAs). These changes are needed to meet the requirements set forth under Perkins V and to streamline and simplify the method of reporting CTE-related data to the 小猪视频 via the Student Information and Repository System (SIRS) or data warehouse.

A听 鈥淐TE program鈥 or 鈥淐TE program of study鈥澨 will refer only to those programs that have current state-approval under the

Background: Why must districts report CTE data?

小猪视频 State receives approximately $24 million in Perkins funding for secondary students. Each district is allocated a share of these funds based on a formula that uses census data reports of school-aged children, with added weight given to economic need.

Districts having allocations over $15,000 can access their funds directly if they meet 小猪视频 State requirements. Beginning with the 2019-20 school year, Perkins funds can be used only for 小猪视频-approved programs.

Schools whose allocations are below $15,000 cannot access funds directly, but can join a locally formed consortium, which uses funds to benefit all participating members. Some consortia are made up of several school districts, but the majority of consortia are made up of a BOCES and its component districts. Any district assigning its allocation to a BOCES is a participating member of a Perkins consortium.

Reporting CTE Data to the 小猪视频

  1. Data Reported by Program Provider

Beginning in 2019-20, only CTE data for 小猪视频-approved CTE programs should be reported to the 小猪视频 SIRS. CTE data should be reported by the program provider鈥攖he agency that operates the 小猪视频-approved CTE program.

For example, a 小猪视频-approved, BOCES-operated CTE program should report Program Fact, Student Class Grade Detail, relevant course data, and CTE Technical Skills Assessment data to SIRS. This change does not remove the need for the BOCES and districts to share CTE data for other purposes (e.g. the generation of transcripts and awarding of credits). For specific template reporting information, refer to the table below.

  1. Program Service Data

Program Service Codes

As mentioned above, starting with the 2019-20 school year, CTE Program service records, collected using the Program Fact template, will only be reported for students in 小猪视频-approved CTE programs.

This change will significantly reduce the number of program fact records LEAs will need to report to the SIRS.

When programs are approved, a Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code is assigned. Often, this is the code proposed by the school district, but in some cases, 小猪视频 may assign a code for greater clarity. Approved programs should be reported under the CIP code found on the 小猪视频-issued approval or re-approval letter. A list of LEAs with current 小猪视频-approved CTE programs is maintained on the 小猪视频 CTE webpage .听

All LEAs should use the list of Program Service codes for State-approved programs. This list is found in the 小猪视频 SIRS Manual

The following CIP codes currently used to report non-approved program fact data to the SIRS will no longer be reported beginning in 2019-20.

  1. CTE Course and Grades Data

School districts, charter schools and BOCES will continue to report course data to the SIRS using the course codes contained in the 小猪视频 State Course Catalog .

小猪视频 has identified approximately 500 courses considered 鈥淐TE鈥 courses . These course titles and codes should be used when reporting CTE data in Course Instructor Assignment, Student Class Entry Exit and Student Class Grade Detail.

When applying for CTE program approval, LEAs will be identifying the 小猪视频 approved School Codes for the Exchange of Data (SCED) course titles and codes that constitute the program鈥檚 sequence. For more information about the approval process see听.

Two new course codes have been developed for the reporting of work-based learning and will be introduced over the summer (see table below).

In addition to the Work-Based Learning course codes above, the following new courses will be available in 2019-20 for the reporting of 鈥淢iddle Level鈥 student course data in SIRS.

  1. Technical Skills Assessments

All students in 小猪视频-approved CTE programs who have taken the technical skills assessment must be reported with Assessment Measure Code 00199 (Approved CTE Program Technical Assessment).听 The program provider should report this assessment to SIRS.

Assessment Measure Code OOC41, (CTE Technical Assessment 鈥 Other) will no longer be collected since CTE Program Fact data will be limited to 小猪视频-approved programs.

  1. Career Path Codes

Career Path Codes must be reported with a diploma or credential. Districts and LEAs should report students with a Career Path Code of CTE on the Student Lite template if the student successfully completed a 小猪视频-approved CTE program and passed the culminating three-part technical skills assessment in lieu of a second Social Studies Regents exam. The School District of Responsibility issuing the diploma should report the Career Pathway information to SIRS.
