New CTE Funding Guidance from TEA Attendance and Enrollment FAQ
Q: Are CTE courses still required to meet an average of 45 minutes per day in order to receive a V code needed to generate CTE weighted funding? Can you combine the minutes from multiple instructional models in order to meet the 45 minutes per day minimum requirement? For an example, can a hybrid model be used where a course is taught for 25 minutes per day using the synchronous remote learning model and 20 minutes per day using the asynchronous remote learning model for a total of 45 minutes? NEW July 28, 2020
A: Yes, an average of 45 minutes per day or 450 minutes over a two-week period is still required in order for a CTE course to receive a V1 code needed to generate weighted CTE funding. You may combine minutes across multiple instructional models in order to meet the minimum number of minutes required for CTE funding. In-person instruction, synchronous remote learning instruction, and asynchronous remote learning instruction minutes may be combined.
