| Priorities: | Perkins IV priorities are set forth in the Carl D.

School districts and public two-year colleges with an estimated postsecondary allocation of less than $50,000 may address a letter to the State Director of Career/Vocational Technical Education to request authorization to form or join a consortium to meet the minimum. The letter should be mailed to Margie Roberts at the address below by Friday, May 11, 2007.
