Bill > AB1694

This bill, concerning the California Career Technical Education Incentive Grant Program, aims to provide greater stability for existing high-quality career technical education (CTE) programs by automatically renewing grants for eligible recipients for three additional years, rather than requiring them to reapply each time. Starting in the 2026-27 fiscal year, up to 90% of the program's funding will be allocated to these renewal grants, with up to 10% reserved for new applicants, though the Superintendent of Public Instruction can adjust these percentages. The bill also removes a previous restriction that prevented applicants from receiving more grant money than an allocation formula determined they were eligible for, and it introduces provisions for the Superintendent to halt funding and recover previously distributed funds if a grant recipient fails to implement their program as proposed, does not meet matching fund requirements, or no longer needs the grant.
