​​Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in Illinois provide instruction for careers in high-wage, high-skill, and in-demand occupations. CTE programs continue to strengthen students’ technical skills; articulate transitions to postsecondary programs, employment or both; assist in meeting the Illinois Learning Standards; and close achievement gaps.​​​​​​

​ISBE is developing a new funding formula for the CTE state funds. On June 6, CTE staff presented to the Finance and Audit Board Subcommittee regarding the revision to the methodology for the Career and Technical Education State Funding.

All updates to the formula will be shared publicly on this page.
