8. CTE Enhanced Funding
Following all of the steps to have your JWG program approved as a CTE course could provide access to enhanced funding for your district*
The enhanced funding will go to your district, who will use the funds to support their CTE programs; you will need to collaborate with your district’s CTE director to determine the amount of funding that could be used in your JWG program.
Funding is based on a formula that takes into account the number of FTEs served by your program and provides additional dollars per student above and beyond the Basic Ed allocation.
