This resource provides a national comparison of state policies and activities related to secondary career and technical education (CTE). States use a range of federal, state and local funding sources to support secondary CTE. "How Are Funds Distributed to Schools and Districts? 50-State Comparison: Secondary Career and Technical Education" focuses on how states fund CTE through categorical and foundational funding mechanisms in their K-12 education system. Categorical funding to districts for CTE generally falls into three categories: (1) student-based; (2) unit-based; or (3) cost-based formulas. This resource does not include CTE information at the postsecondary level.
