		Perkins’ requirements to serve special populations may have resulted in providing funds targeted toward special populations that might not otherwise be available.
		To the extent that Perkins funds are linked to the provision of "matching" State funds or a "maintenance of effort" by the State, it is appropriate to assess whether the programs funded by the matching funds (not the Perkins funds) provide a positive return to the state in ultimate tax revenues or other measures.
