Perkins Funding

Compare states’ Perkins V funding and how they direct it across secondary and postsecondary, through the Reserve Fund and State Leadership set-asides.

Program Quality

Compare states’ Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA) cycle; the size, scope, and quality definitions at the secondary and postsecondary levels; and Perkins V funding eligibility for the middle grades.

Administration & Governance

Compare state-level decisions, including the Perkins eligible agency, whether the state pursued a Combined State Plan with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and progress on the statewide postsecondary attainment goal.
