One of the most significant changes in Perkins V (the strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act) is the new requirement for local eligible recipients to conduct a Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA) and update it every two years. As a stakeholder in the Kodiak Island Borough School District’s Career and Technical Education Program, please complete this survey to best of your ability to help inform the results of the CLNA. For the questions listed below, please respond by rating each with one of the following answer choices:

0 = Not Met: Evidence of little or no development and implementation; this level shows no discernible impact and is an area in need of improvement.

1 = Developing: Evidence of limited or partial development and implementation; this level shows progress is being made, but there is not a consistent impact. Additional improvement is necessary.

2 = Established: Evidence of an operational level of development and implementation.  This level shows a positive impact that supports continuous improvement and growth.

3 = Distinguished: Evidence of an exemplary level of development and full implementation. This level shows significant impact based on continuous improvement with long term improvement plan goals that are being acted upon in a continual manner.

Thank you for your time.
