2024-2025 CDIP & Matriculation Data Submission Intent to Participate

The purpose of this document is to outline the requirements for districts, district charter school and Institute charter schools to participate in the Career Development Incentive Program and Matriculation credential submission.

The Career Development Incentive Program (HB18-1266) provides financial incentives for participating school districts and charter schools (both district and Institute authorized) that encourage high school students (grades 9-12) to complete qualified industry-recognized certification programs, workplace training programs, or qualified Advanced Placement courses during the current school year.

Matriculation Rates are included as part of district and state accountability determinations. Matriculation rates reflect the percentage of high school graduates that enroll in a career and technical education program, community college, or four-year institution of higher education during the summer or fall term immediately following graduation. Earned industry credentials are collected via this submission and included within the calculated matriculation rates for districts and schools. Credit is awarded for graduates that receive a recognized industry certification during the current or prior academic years. So, all certifications earned by graduates should be reported.
