Priority 2 · Develop programs

Tennessee

A documented CTE program, funding mechanism, or pathway supports targeted development; the current buyer and budget still need qualification.

State evidence

Make the next decision verifiable

Open question

The deadline has passed. The guide contains mixed fiscal-year labels; confirm the applicable award year with the district. Awards, current balances, exact purchase eligibility, and the status of earlier one-time investments remain unverified.

Recommended action

Review the district's approved Perkins plan and current award, then connect a documented pathway need to an eligible purchase.

Required before a sales forecast

  1. Exact product or credential eligibility, supported by a current crosswalk.
  2. A named buyer with a usable budget and purchasing authority.
  3. A procurement route, decision date, and implementation capacity.
