Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act (VATEA), this document describes the planning process between the two agencies and timelines for division of funds. Following a brief introduction indicating that the MOU delegates the maximum responsibility to the Board in administration and operation of community college vocational programs funded by the VATEA, the report describes areas of agreement related to the following: (1) shared planning and coordination, including staff operations and the background, purpose, functions, and operational procedures of the Joint Advisory Committee on Vocational Education (JACVE); (2) the development of the state plan for vocational education and/or amendments, including the processes for adopting, developing, and monitoring the implementation of the plan and amendments; and (3) procedures for resolving differences, indicating that if the JACVE fails to reach an agreement, the presidents of each board will meet, then a joint session of the two boards will be held if the presidents cannot agree, and finally, if an agreement is still not reached, the Board of Education will make a decision.
