Immediately following Specific Appropriation  116, INSERT:

From the funds in Specific Appropriation 116,  $10,000,000 is provided
for recurring grants to school districts for new or expanded programs
that provide job skills training for employment in jobs on the Statewide
Targeted Occupations List.  Any school district that needs additional
funds to increase the workforce by providing such training may submit a
request to the Department of Education.  Each district's request must
provide a summary of how the district's current workforce education
program funds are being used. The request for additional funding must
identify specifically each occupation for which training will be
provided and how the requested funds will be used to increase the number
of people trained by the district for that occupation. Also, the request
must provide the nature of the district/industry partnership, the
location of the training, the training methodology, the number of people
to be trained, a detailed estimate of the annual cost of the proposed
training, including the amount to be paid from other sources as well as

the amount requested, and other information that the department may need
to assess a district's proposed plan and its long-term effectiveness.

Based on an objective review of all requests received, the department
shall award grants for requests that: (1) have the greatest
underserved need, (2) will provide the largest increase in the number of
people receiving job skill training for employment in the occupations on
the targeted list, (3) will provide training for the occupations with
the greatest shortage of qualified workers,  (4) have the greatest
potential for trainees to successfully complete the training and be
employed, and (5) are the most cost efficient.  Grant approval shall be
completed by August 1, 2005. The department shall submit a summary
report of the grant awards to the chair of the Senate Ways and Means
Committee and the chair of the House Fiscal Council by September 1,
2005.
