§ 18-1855. Career and technical education equipment grants
(a) For the 2000-2001 fiscal year and the 2001-2002 fiscal year, the Department of Education shall establish a grant program to assist area career and technical schools, school districts offering approved career and technical programs and the Thaddeus Stevens State College of Technology in purchasing equipment that meets industry standards for the purpose of providing training to students. Grants shall be limited to the purchase of equipment in the following program areas: automotive technology, auto body, diesel technology, precision machine technology, heating ventilation and air conditioning, printing, dental assisting, electronics, building trades and other program areas approved by the Secretary of Education. Grants shall be awarded by the Department of Education on a matching basis, two State dollars ($2) for every local dollar ($1), and shall be limited to funds appropriated for that purpose.
(b) For the 2016-2017 school year and for each school year thereafter, the Department of Education shall establish a grant program to assist each area career and technical school and school district with an approved career and technical program that applies for and is approved for funding by the Department of Education to purchase equipment that meets industry standards. Grants shall be distributed in an amount to be calculated as follows:
(i) Multiply the average daily membership in approved career and technical education programs for the most recent year available for each area career and technical school or school district that has been approved for funding by the Department of Education by the difference between the amount appropriated for career and technical education equipment grants and the sum of the funding distributed under paragraph (1) to all area career and technical schools and school districts.
(ii) Divide the product from subparagraph (i) by the sum of the average daily membership in approved career and technical education programs for the most recent year available for all area career and technical schools and school districts that have been approved for funding by the Department of Education.
(3) Description of the equipment for which the requested funding will be used, the career and technical education program in which the equipment will be used, the date on which the occupational advisory committee recommended the purchase of the equipment and verification that the equipment will be used for technical classroom instruction.
