This is an Activities and Timeline Requirements document for the Oregon Department of Education's Career and Technical Education (CTE) Revitalization Grant 2025-2027 (RFA S-58100-00016940). The document establishes the framework that applicants must use to describe specific activities associated with project outcomes, including both planning and implementation phases. Applicants are required to demonstrate significant implementation activities by January 2027 and must complete all project activities by June 30, 2027. The attachment requires applicants to list each activity, identify which outcomes it addresses (by reference to Attachment 5), specify the timeline with beginning and ending months and years, and designate the person(s) or groups responsible for accomplishing each activity within the proposed timeline. The application submission deadline is June 24, 2026, at 2:59 PM (PDT), with a notice of intent to award anticipated July 8, 2026, and final reports and close-out documentation due October 8, 2027.

The grant supports eligible Oregon public school districts, Educational Service Districts (ESDs), and public charter schools applying individually or through consortia, with maximum awards of $125,000 for single-school applications and up to $250,000 for multi-district consortia. Administrative costs are capped at 5 percent of the total project budget, and capital improvements and vehicle purchases are explicitly prohibited. The program emphasizes equitable access to CTE for historically and currently marginalized learners and requires applicants to develop written partnership commitments with federally recognized Tribes, community-based organizations, businesses, industries, labor organizations, and community colleges demonstrating specific contributions. The grant is funded through legislative appropriation in SB 5515 (2025) and authorized under ORS 344.075 and OAR 581-044-0210 through 581-044-0260, with no incumbent vendors identified.
