The Department of Education is asking for public input on proposed changes to the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act State Plan Guide (Perkins V). Announced on August 27, 2025, this request for comment centers on a return to a simpler reporting framework—removing recently added requirements around performance formulas that many states found burdensome.
Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before September 26, 2025.
“This information collection is used by the Department of Education (the Department) to request State Plans and annual revisions under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins V). We are proposing to reinstate the previously approved version of this collection. Doing so will eliminate the requirement that eligible agencies and eligible recipients use numerator and denominator specifications recently established by the Department to set State determined performance levels for the indicators of performance under Perkins V.”
