Abstract	This report discusses how in Wyoming, the State Board of Vocational Education is in charge of dividing Perkins funds between secondary and postsecondary institutions. The purpose of this report is to discuss a requirement in the Perkins Actdeveloping a rationale for allocating money between secondary and postsecondary education. When Perkins funding is offered across the country, it is given in two categories: counting enrollment (vocational or non vocational) or some kind of needs assessment. Currently Wyoming allocates 65% to secondary schools and 35% to postsecondary schools and the Wyoming State Board of Vocational Education (WSBVE) must decided if it will leave the split as is (65/35) or modify it. Overall, career-technical education is more expensive to deliver than traditional academic coursework. Therefore, both secondary and postsecondary institutions struggle with decisions as what they can and cannot afford to offer in the vocational arena. Information is provided on other states' rational for funding, purposes of Perkins Funding, and Wyoming data on vocational full time equivalency. The report concludes with a discussion on the history and purposes of federal vocational funding programs and four major reasons why some favor a greater split for postsecondary education.
