The2025 state entitlements for Career and Technical Education (CTE) occupational preparation and adult education for eligible school divisions, and including regional centers, have been determined based on the Career and Technical Education Financial Report. The regional center entitlements will be paid directly to each center's fiscal agent school division. The identified state entitlement amounts will be paid to school divisions in one payment on June 30, 2025, by electronic funds transfer. In fiscal year 2025, these entitlement payments are funded with state lottery funds.
State funds distributed to eligible school divisions are based upon actual expenditures from the prior fiscal year and the total funds appropriated by the General Assembly for CTE occupational preparation and adult education programs. To determine each school division's fiscal year 2025 allocation for CTE occupational preparation and adult education programs, state funding is divided by the total school year 2023-2024 occupational preparation and adult education local funds expenditures to determine the reimbursement percentage for each program.
For fiscal year 2025, it has been determined that each eligible school division will be reimbursed for 40.98% of its school year 2023-2024 CTE occupational preparation expenditures and 40.98% of its CTE adult education program expenditures. Those school divisions that did not operate these programs in school year 2023-2024 and did not record any local fund expenditures are not eligible to receive any state reimbursement in fiscal year 2025.
