Feedback sought on Perkins State Determined Performance Levels

Feedback is being sought on State Determined Performance Levels (SDPLs) before they are released to the general public for a 60-day comment period. 

Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) requires states to set their own LDPLs following specific criteria and processes outlined in the law. 

Kansas is required to establish SDPLs for 2024-2025 to continue receiving federal funding under Perkins V. 

Please share this information with those you feel it is appropriate for and provide feedback on the proposed SDPLs by emailing it to perkinsv@ksborg.org

The SDPLs must be based on two years of actual performance, advance the goals set forth by the Kansas State Plan for Career Technical Education and continually make meaningful progress in the performance of all students. 

If a state fails to meet at least 90% of the SDPL on an indicator for the program year, the state must create an improvement plan for that indicator. Once a state enters an improvement plan, no adjustments may be made to the performance levels. 

Actual Levels of Performance:  

The chart below is the state’s actual levels of performance for the two most recently completed program years of data for 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. 1S1-5S1 are secondary education performance indicators; 1P1-3P1 are postsecondary education performance indicators.
