Perkins CTE Reauthorization Act Sent To President Trump?s Desk
Jul 31, 2018

A bipartisan reauthorization of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education (CTE) Act was passed Wednesday by both the US Senate and House of Representatives and sent to the desk of President Donald Trump. The $1.1 billion program, last reauthorized in 2006, provides funding for job training and related programs for high school students, many of whom may be seeking postsecondary options other than a four-year college degree, as well as for students in higher education. The Senate bill to revamp Perkins was co-authored by Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., and Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., and is called the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act. The House, which passed its own version of a Perkins reauthorization last year, approved CTE reauthorization as amended by the Senate version. The legislation passed via voice vote.
