Allocation Amendment Summary

Fiscal Declaration

The Fiscal Declaration information in this section has been provided as a courtesy. It has not been changed since CFAD has been approved by the Member Representatives.

Consortium Name
02 Antelope Valley Regional Adult Education Consortium
Funding Channel
Direct Funded
Justification
Southern Kern Unified School District has left our consortium, leaving us with only two members. Antelope Valley College has not taken money from the adult education consortium in the past, and will not be taking money this year as well. Both members agreed it would be beneficial to move to a direct funded model for the 2020-21 school year.
Narrative
Through a series of community forums, the Consortium was able to identify the three greatest priorities of the region: 1. Career Technical Education and Apprenticeships; 2. English as a Second Language; 3. Adult Basic Education. IN addition to expanding educational opportunities in these areas, the consortium recognizes that all areas of adult education have the need for greater support services. The consortium supports the need for additional counseling and clerical support in all program areas. These positions are vital to the success of the CAEP mission. Moving forward, the AVAERC would like to have more counselors/transition specialists involved in transitioning students to post-secondary pathways. AVAERC has identified the need for both additional physical space, and improvements to the current facilities, as we continue to expand programs. The main focus for AVAERC will be to continue expanding services to reach as many community members in the region as possible. The planned allocations for this fiscal year will allow AVAERC to move forward in accomplishing the goals set forth in the three year plan.
Changes
We will be moving from a fiscal agent model to a direct funded model. Allocations will remain the same.
