Proposed Perkins V State Determined Performance Levels

Consortium: Lakes Country
Grant Year: 6 (2026)

The following report displays Lakes Country’s actual performance for Grant Years 3–4 (2023–2024), average performance across these years for baselining purposes, and proposed State Determined Performance Levels (SDPLs) for Grant Year 6 (2026).

Requirements for state determined levels of performance

  • Be expressed as a percentage or numerical form.
  • Show continuous meaningful progress toward improving the performance of all CTE students.
  • Be higher than the average actual performance of the two most recently completed program years.

Note:

  • For proposed secondary SDPLs, in cases where the average actual performance of the two most recent years was lower than the actual performance of GY4 (2024), the actual performance level of GY4 (2024) was used to set the GY6 (2026) SDPL.
  • For proposed postsecondary SDPLs, a weighted formula including consortia size, performance trends, and a portion tied to the state SDPL increase was utilized. These SDPLs for GY6 (2026) will be used unless the average actual performance of the two most recent years is greater, in which case GY6 (2026) SDPLs will be minimally increased to exceed the average.

For more information on actual performance during Grant Years 1–4 (2021–2024), and for final Grant Year 5 (2025) SDPLs, please review your consortia’s annual performance report.
