The Iowa Department of Education, Bureau of Community Colleges and Career and Technical Education, has developed a process for gathering input from the field as it creates the FY 2009-2013 State Plan for the Administration of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV). This process involves a Stakeholders’ Group consisting of representatives of the numerous entities with a stake in career and technical education in Iowa. The Stakeholders’ Group continues to make recommendations regarding the State Plan to the Iowa Department of Education. Five work teams were established to make recommendations to the Stakeholders’ Group regarding specific sections of the State Plan including: Program Administration, Accountability and Assessment, Program Development and Improvement, Special Populations/Non-traditional Prep, and Statewide Leadership. These work teams have completed their work and the Department presented an initial draft to the Stakeholders' Group on January 11. The Department presented preliminary state plan recommendations to the State Board of Education on February 6, followed by public hearings held around the state via ICN on February 28. The final Stakeholder's meeting was held on Friday, March 13. The State Board of Education reviewed and approved the state plan recommended by the Department on April 3.
