CTA (formally known as CVA)

The new CTA (Career and Technical Act) is in effect for FY 2009. 

In November 2007, CCCS put together a team to review the Rules and Regulations and to make recommendations for changes. This team consisted of Secondary CTE Administrators (both urban and rural), CACTA Board members and CCCS staff from Accounting, Internal Audit and CTE Compliance. With the recommendations from this team, CCCS started the process to have the Rules and Regulations changes coincide with the effective date of CTA. This process included receiving approval of the changes from the Secretary of State and the Attorney General. The new Rules and Regulations became effective August 6, 2008.

The next step for implementation of the CTA was to make changes to the Administrators’ Handbook. Over the summer, the team that made recommendations to the Rules and Regulations did the same for the Administrators Handbook. The final version of the CTA portion of the Administrators’ Handbook has been completed and is effective for FY 2009 financial reporting for CTA.

History of CTA

The Career and Technical Act, formerly the Colorado Vocational Act of 1970, CRS 23-8-101 et. seq., was adopted by the Colorado General Assembly to provide assistance to local school districts operating CTE programs approved by the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education.

An audit of a secondary school district that receives funds from the Colorado Vocational Act is conducted approximately once every five years. Currently, there are 179 secondary school districts that are participating in the Colorado Vocational Act program. The Internal Audit Department audits those secondary school districts that receive Colorado Vocational Act funds.

 

The process and disbursement of CTA funds are governed by the SBCCOE Rules and Regulations.
