      72-4480.   Vocational education schools and technical colleges; core indicators of quality performance; data management system; quality performance grants, eligibility and amount. (a) The state board of regents shall identify and approve core indicators of quality performance for vocational education schools and technical colleges and shall establish and implement a data management system that includes a process and format for collecting, aggregating and reporting common and institution-specific information documenting effectiveness of the schools and colleges in meeting the role and mission thereof.

      (b)   In each fiscal year, commencing with the 2003 fiscal year, each vocational education school and technical college is eligible to receive a quality performance grant from the state general fund. If the state board determines that the school or college has demonstrated effectiveness in complying with its role and mission statement and has met or exceeded the core indicators of quality performance for vocational education schools and technical colleges identified and approved by the state board, the school or college shall receive a quality performance grant in an amount which shall be determined by the state board by computing 2% of the amount of postsecondary aid the school or college received in the preceding fiscal year. The computed amount is the amount of the quality performance grant the school or college shall receive for the fiscal year.

      (c)   The distribution of the appropriation for quality performance grants to vocational education schools and technical colleges entitled to such grants shall be made at a time to be determined by the state board. The state board shall certify to the director of accounts and reports the amount due to each vocational education school and technical college entitled to a grant, and the director of accounts and reports shall draw a warrant upon the state treasurer in favor of the school or college for such amount. Upon receipt of the warrant, the treasurer of the school or college shall credit the amount of the warrant to the general fund.
