Community College | Establishes the Jobs and Education for Texans (JET) grant program and fund to award grants to public junior colleges and public technical institutes, and to eligible nonprofit organizations to:
(1) Develop or support nonprofit organizations' programs that prepare low-income students for careers in high-demand occupations. Eligible programs must help students prepare for, apply to and enroll in a public junior college/technical institute, provide matching funds, and demonstrate that they have achieved or will achieve above average developmental course completion rates, persistence rates, and 3-year degree or certificate completion rates among participating students.
(2) Defray the start-up costs of new career and technical education programs in high-demand occupations
(3) Provide scholarships for students who demonstrate financial need and who are enrolled in training programs for high-demand occupations.
In awarding grants to public junior colleges and public technical institutes for the development of new career and technical education courses or programs, provides the comptroller may consider whether the course or program offers new or expanded dual credit career and technical educational opportunities in public high schools.
Directs the comptroller to conduct a study of the feasibility of basing part of all public postsecondary technical training program funding on the program's economic benefit to the state, and of estimating the additional tax revenue from employers generated by the ability of public junior colleges/technical institutes/state colleges to prepare students for employment fields for which there is employer demand. Requires the comptroller to report to the lieutenant governor and speaker of the house by January 2011 for legislative action based on the results of the study.
Defines "green jobs" as jobs in the field of renewable energy or energy efficiency. Establishes the Green Job Skills Development Fund and Training Program to support the implementation and expansion of green job skills training programs. Specifies that an eligible training program must be hosted by a regional partnership designed to implement training programs that lead trainees to economic self-sufficiency and career pathways. Requires regional partnerships to include at a minimum a postsecondary institution; chamber of commerce, local workforce agency, local employer, or other public or private participating entity; economic development authority; and community or faith-based nonprofit organization that works with one or more targeted populations.
Specifies criteria that eligible green job skills training programs must meet. Requires programs receiving grants to target specified groups of individuals for training, including low-income workers, unemployed youth and adults, individuals who did not complete high school, or other underserved sectors of the workforce in high poverty areas. Provides that a training program may use grant funds for support services, including basic skills, literacy, GED, English as a second language, and job readiness training, career guidance, and referral services. Establishes grant application procedures. Specifies training programs the comptroller must give preference to, and requires 20% of funds to be reserved for job skill training programs that serve the unemployed and those with incomes at or below 200% of the poverty level. Establishes grantee reporting requirements, and requires the comptroller to report biennially on submitted information to the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the house. Directs the comptroller to adopt standards for a green job skills training program awarded a grant.

| IL | Adopted 03/2009 | P-12 | Establishes rules concerning the Reading Improvement Block Grant Program. Identifies the applicants eligible to apply for professional development grants on a competitive basis, establishes the procedures and requirements for both initial and continuation applications, and provides the criteria for review and awarding of grants. The amendments contemplate two pools of applicants: school districts, charter schools and approved public university laboratory schools, which would apply on behalf of their teachers who would participate in the professional development activities, and these applicants and other entities, which would apply to establish the training programs. Amendment additionally allows sufficient flexibility for the state superintendent to identify in each RFP the training approaches that would best meet the needs of school staff or support statewide priorities for improvement of teaching and learning. This flexibility will enable the agency to target limited resources toward programs with the greatest likelihood of success, without first having to conduct a lengthy process to amend the rules.
