Sec. 403.31  How is the State plan developed?



    (a) In formulating the State plan, and any amendments to the State 

plan, the State board shall meet with, and utilize, the State council on 

vocational education established under Sec. 403.17.

    (b) After providing appropriate and sufficient notice to the public, 

the State board shall conduct at least two public hearings in the State 

for the purpose of affording all segments of the public and interested 

organizations and groups an opportunity to present their views and make 

recommendations regarding the State plan.

    (c) A State shall provide public notice of hearings on the State 

plan at least 30 days prior to the hearings.

    (d) In developing a State plan, the State shall conduct an 

assessment according to Sec. 403.203.

    (e) The State board shall develop the portion of each State plan 

relating to the amount and uses of any funds proposed to be reserved for 

adult education, postsecondary education, tech-prep education, and 

secondary education after consultation with the State agency responsible 

for supervision of community colleges, technical institutes, or other 

two-year postsecondary institutions primarily engaged in providing 

postsecondary vocational education and the State agency responsible for 

secondary education. If a State agency finds that a portion of the final 

State plan is objectionable, that agency shall file its objections with 

the State board.

    (f) The State board shall, in developing the State plan, take into 

consideration the relative training and retraining needs of secondary, 

adult, and postsecondary students.
