P210Voc Report Collection
To meet state and federal reporting requirements, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) must collect Career and Technical Education (CTE) end-of-year enrollment data for the 2008-09 school year.
 
This memo is intended for those individuals with responsibility for the 2008-09 Career and Technical Education End-of-Year Enrollment Report (P210Voc). To ensure that all data submittal is accurate and complete, I highly encourage you to work closely with your district's CSRS/CEDARS staff administrator to complete the P210Voc report. 
 
As a reminder, the 2008-09 P210Voc report deadline is November 23, 2009.
 
The reporting period for the P210VOC collection is defined as the first day of school in the fall of 2008 to the day before the first day of school in the fall of 2009. The school district will generate the P210VOC report from the CTE enrollment data reported through the Core Student Record System (CSRS)  for the 2008-09 school year.
 
Data definitions, instructions, guidelines, procedures, changes to, clarification of reporting requirements, and layouts are provided in the 2008-09 CSRS Data Manual. The manual is available here.
 
CTE enrollment data is required of each participating district by providing CTE courses through the Core Student Record System (CSRS) monthly submission. The only students in the district to be reported on in CSRS are those:
  • In Grades 9-12.
  • Enrolled in OSPI-approved CTE programs/courses.
Students attending Skill Centers will be reported by the Skill Centers' host school district through CSRS. The sending school district reports only those students who take CTE classes in the high school. 
 
This information is used to generate a variety of required state and federal reports and impacts funding to our State.
 
Again, the deadline to generate and accept the district's P210VOC is November 23, 2009.

Perkins 2009-10 District Application
There are a number of districts that have not complete form package 477 (Perkins End of Year Report). Please note that the 09-10 Perkins plan will not receive final approval until form package 477 is approved and districts needing to complete a Perkins Performance Improvement Plan (PPIP) must supply OSPI with a signed copy of the PPIP.
 
Due to the late approval from the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) on Washington's Perkins State Plan, districts opting to negotiate the targets after submission of the Perkins plan must email or call the CTE program office and request page six (State Levels of Performance) to be unlocked.    
 
As noted in the application, the State proposed target is subject to change based on the counter proposal from OVAE.  New targets are below and will be reflected in iGrants as soon as possible.  Please remember that districts are required to meet district or state level performance measurements for each indicator. Districts may either accept the state negotiated level of performance, or have the option of negotiating each of the state's targets. Districts opting to negotiate must set a minimum proposed level that is three percent above the district's performance level from the previous year.
