Summary: Staff requests approval to apply for the California Career Pathways Trust (CPT) grant, round 2, through the California Department of Education. Mt. Diablo Unified would serve as the fiscal agent for this grant and would collaboratively apply as a regional consortium. The regional consortium is called the Diablo Delta Corridor Project which began in 2013 as recognized Linked Learning Pilot Project through CDE. Partnering districts include Antioch USD and Pittsburg USD, as well as Contra Costa Economic Partnership, Contra Costa Community Colleges, the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa and industry partners. All three school districts are also part of the larger regional CPT I grant, referred to as the Diablo Gateways to Innovation (DGI) recently awarded in spring 2014. DGI was awarded $7,998,000 over three years (2014-2017) to create a regional approach to Career Pathways that allows students from throughout the region to successfully transition from middle school to high school to post-secondary education to employment in local businesses. Of that, MDUSD is receiving $354,000 over three years.

As part of the second round of the CPT grant, MDUSD requests approval to apply for up to $6 million dollars for the three districts to provide local and school based services and support to district students and staff, career academy and pathway development K-12, professional development, personnel to support program development and implementation, development of a local work-based learning/internship hub between educators and industry and for supplies and materials. The CPT 2 grant is a two year grant.
