Authors: Rebecca R. Skinner and Richard N. Apling, Domestic Social Policy Division 
Abstract: This report analyzes selected changes that S. 250 (House) and S. 250 (Senate) would make to current law and key differences between the bills. It begins with an examination of changes to relevant definitions made by both bills. This is followed by a detailed analysis of changes to funding formulas - both state allotments and within state allocations. The next section of the report considers changes that would be made to the Tech-Prep program, particularly by S. 250 (House). Following this discussion, the report analyzes accountability requirements in both bills, including changes to the core indicators of performance and data reporting. The report concludes with an examination of state and local plans and uses of funds.
