What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill removes the per pupil limitation on career and technical education

incentive grants that the Department of Workforce Development awards to school

districts. Under current law, DWD must award a grant to a school district in the

amount of $1,000 per pupil who, in the prior school year, obtained a high school

diploma and successfully completed an industry-recognized certification program

approved by DWD. Under the bill, DWD must award $1,000 for each certification

program completed by a pupil. The bill also changes the funding of the program from

a sum certain to a sum sufficient.
