The Design Team discussed the following measure and measurement approach for rate of further postsecondary enrollment.
Measure: Percentage of accountably enrolled students who did not receive a degree, certificate, or employer credential in the reporting year or the following reporting year and who enrolled in postsecondary education in the following reporting year.
Numerator: Students who earned at least 12 cumulative credits in a career preparation program or completed a program of less than 12 credits (or equivalent) by the end of the reporting year; did not receive a degree, certificate, or employer certification in the reporting year or the following reporting year; and were found enrolled in any postsecondary institution in the U.S. any time during the following reporting year.
Denominator: Students who earned at least 12 cumulative credits in a career preparation program or completed a program of less than 12 credits (or equivalent) by the end of the reporting year and did not receive a degree, certificate, or employer certification in the reporting year or the following reporting year.

Rate of Further Postsecondary Enrollment for Postsecondary Students

We are concerned about clarity on which years are the “reporting year†and the â€following reporting year†but we would hope that is clear within the overall verbiage.

From Massachusetts:
• Will we only be measuring students who transitioned from a high school CTE program to a postsecondary CTE program? This would ensure Perkins funding would follow Perkins students throughout their CTE careers and not be used to support students who had not made an earlier commitment to CTE. Are we using a cohort model (following students from high school to college in a CTE concentration) or open enrollment model to count students?
• Do students who transition from a two year postsecondary program be tracked to see if they transition into a college concentration related to their CTE concentration?

If we only chose those starting in CTE programs in high school, community colleges are eliminating 90% of the community college population. The objective of Perkins is to get people trained and re-trained for employment. The majority of the unemployed are over 18 and these people need assistance to get trained and/or retrained. Many high school students could be on the college-prep track (not CTE) in high school and go onto the community college to pursue an occupational program. CTE in high school is becoming even more limited due to state standards. If we eliminate the many students in high school that don't take CTE courses and elminate the population over 18, we are serving a very minute population and I don't think that is what is intended.
