The criteria shall include the relative efficiency of administration of the program in the counties served and achievement of the federal performance indicators. The Career Education and Workforce Development Board shall promulgate rules and regulations for the distribution of funds in accordance with criteria to be determined by the Board. In distribution of funds to local units the board shall consider the literacy rate in each county and performance in meeting state and federal performance indicators. For the purposes of this section, the term “literacy rate” shall be determined by the number of adults completing less than the twelfth grade as reported by the most recent decennial federal census. Unallocated funds will be redistributed based upon need as determined by the Career Education and Workforce Development Board.”
