Narrative
ACCEL San Mateo County Consortium adult education and community college members continue to make progress towards the achievement of its recently developed 3 Year Strategic Plan. As a tool to further assist in the achievement of its goals, the Consortium established new workgroups arising out of its steering committee. The workgroups are focused on developing tools and promising practice guidelines to support the integration and contextualization of basic skills and career pathways, as well as fostering collaboration between ESL, ABE/ASE and CTE faculty. The workgroups are also engaged in research, development, and implementation of best practices for student learning, acceleration, and career assessment for both English language learners and ABE/ASE students. The Consortium workgroups: (1) Packaging of Support Services; (2) Curriculum Alignment Between Adult Schools & Community Colleges; and (3) Short Term CTE Certificates and Training. The San Mateo Adult School and the College of San Mateo has an articulation agreement for the adult school Modern Office Technology Program. Jefferson Adult Education is in the process of articulating their Modern Office Technology Program as well. This articulation agreement allows adult school students to engage in the modern technology classes and upon successful completion (passing a test at the adult school) having the ability to receive up to 9 college credits. Establishing strong relationships and working closely with the member College Workforce Development Directors, and Strong Workforce Regional Deputy Sector Navigators, the consortium has identified in-demand jobs within the San Mateo County Region and has launched short term CTE certificate courses including externships to meet employer demand, lead to gainful employment with upward mobility, and stackable certification for continual life-long learning and skill attainment. CTE course offerings among the adult school members consist of: Modern Office Technology, Pharmacy Technician, Business & Professional Communications, Entrepreneurship, and computers and digital literacy for college and the workplace for low and intermediate English language learners. A Clinical Medical Assisting will be offered at South San Francisco Adult Education and San Mateo Adult Education in Fall 2020.
Changes
On April 16, 2020, the ACCEL San Mateo County Steering Committee met, reviewed, and discussed the 2019-20 CAEP proposed funding allocations for the ACCEL Consortium members and the proposed 1.47% COLA funding. During this meeting, the ACCEL San Mateo County Co-Director proposed a 1.67% increase in COLA funding for each member as opposed to the proposed 1.47% COLA increase. The 1.67% increase would result in a difference of $64,000 in the 2020-21 proposed funding allocations which is needed to sustain the ACCEL Consortium General Fund. The Consortia members were reminded of their agreement to contribute funding to the ACCEL Consortium General Fund which supports the Consortia s operational and staffing (executive director and ACCEL assistant) expenses. Upon the conclusion of the funding allocation discussions, the ACCEL Steering Committee Members voted to accept the proposed 2020-21 funding allocations, as well as a reduction in the proposed COLA funding from 1.47% to 1.67% and place the remaining $64,000 in the ACCEL General Fund. San Mateo Adult Education is the fiscal agent for the ACCEL Consortium, therefore an additional $274,000 is added to their allocation.
