One of the most significant changes introduced in the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) is the comprehensive local needs assessment (CLNA). The law states LEAs must complete a comprehensive local needs assessment related to career and technical education at least once every two years.
The TEA has created this training module to support LEAs with the successful completion of the CLNA. The CLNA must be completed prior to the local application being released.
