Core Performance Indicators (CPI)
The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 focuses on the academic achievement of career and technical education students, strengthening the connections between secondary and postsecondary education and improving state and local accountability.
Each state is responsible for developing an accountability system that assesses its effectiveness in achieving statewide progress in career technical education. State and local performance is measured by three core indicators for postsecondary education.
State performance targets for each indicator in postsecondary education are established by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Vocational and Adult Education. Local targets are then negotiated with the state based on the state-level targets. The Carl D. Perkins Act requires that recipients meet at least 90% of the local performance target for each indicator.
