For the Student Centered Funding Formula, students are only counted as earning an award if they are enrolled in the district in the year in which the student earned the award.
Under WIOA, CTE certificates issued by K12 adult schools and noncredit college programs are considered post-secondary if they are for a program greater than 48 contact hours that is aligned to an occupation and is not solely for workforce preparation.
Because this metric looks at subsequent year outcomes, historical outcomes data will update each year.
Note: The ongoing challenges that noncredit community college institutions have faced in reporting student attendance hours for noncredit distance education may impact the way that institutions issue and / or report noncredit awards in SP02.
