5. Performance Measures: The 

Department has established the 

following performance measures for 

purposes of GPRA and for Department 

reporting under 34 CFR 75.110, which

well as NHCTEP as a whole: 

(a) At the secondary level: An increase 

in— 

(1) The percentage of CTE 

concentrators who graduate high school, 

as measured by— 

(A) The four-year adjusted cohort 

graduation rate (defined in section 8101

(B) At the grantee’s discretion, the 

extended-year adjusted cohort 

graduation rate (defined in section 8101

earned through a dual or concurrent 

enrollment program or another credit

school having participated in workbased learning; 

(4) The percentage of CTE 

concentrators graduating from high 

school having attained a recognized 

postsecondary credential; and

concentrators who, after exiting from 

secondary education, are in 

postsecondary education or advanced 

training, military service, or a service 

program, or are employed. 

(b) At the postsecondary level: An

postsecondary education, are in 

advanced training, military service, or a 

service program, or are employed; and

Project-Specific Performance 

Measures: 

In addition to these measures, 

applicants may propose project-specific 

performance measures and performance 

targets consistent with the objectives of 

the proposed project. Examples of such 

project-specific performance measures 

could include student recruitment, 

student participation in work-based 

learning at the postsecondary level, and 

teacher and faculty participation in 

professional development. 

Note: All grantees will be expected to 

submit a semi-annual and an annual 

performance report addressing these 

performance measures, to the extent that 

these performance measures apply to each 

grantee’s NHCTEP project. 

6. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR 

75.253, the Secretary considers, among 

other things: Whether a grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the goals and objectives of the project; 

Whether the grantee has expended 

funds in a manner that is consistent 

with its approved application and 

budget; and, if the Secretary has 

established performance measurement 

requirements, the performance targets in 

the grantee’s approved application. 

In making a continuation award, the 

Secretary also considers whether the 

grantee is operating in compliance with 

the assurances in its approved 

application, including those applicable 

to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit 

discrimination in programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance 

from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 

104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).

public comments on the HLW 

interpretation) and other documents
