- Summary:
-
A study of the implementation of the Perkins Act in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin was conducted by women's education and employment advocates. State officials, service providers, and program participants involved in the sex equity provisions were interviewed and reports were reviewed. Among the findings were the following: (1) in all three states, investment in programs for single parents and homemakers and programs to strengthen sex equity in the system was greatly expanded; (2) the role of the sex equity coordinator varied greatly from state to state; (3) all three states provided support services with Perkins Act dollars; (4) vocational education implementation in Indiana and Illinois was greatly affected by the overall state education reform process; (5) wide variance was found in the treatment of community-based organizations in the three states; (6) in all three states, efforts to prepare women for nontraditional jobs were an important program component; and (7) responses from service providers and program participants interviewed were overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic. (The report also includes a review of the federal sex equity provisions of the Perkins Act, recommendations for reauthorization, and profiles of six innovative programs supported by Perkins Act sex equity dollars.)
