Part 6 - SCHOOL-TO-WORK OPPORTUNITY GRANT PROGRAM APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Section 2.110.6.6 - OBJECTIVE
The objective of Part 6, Chapter 110 [now 2.110.6 NMAC] is to establish procedures for regional area partnerships applying for a School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1994 grant. Under the federal School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1994 the state of New Mexico has been given a $13.2 million grant, over a five year period, beginning January 1997. Annual funding is contingent upon the availability of federal funds, and the satisfactory performance of the regional area partnerships. The purpose of the grant is to create a school-to-work system so that all students can develop a set of academic or work skill standards which will prepare them for successful entry, after high school, into either an institution of higher learning or the labor market; and to enable the student to leave the labor market and return for further training.
