Narrative
The Santa Barbara Adult Education Consortium agreed to allocate all funds to a single member fiscal agent, Santa Barbara City College, to enable the ease in fund management. The CAEP Director, Corlei Prieto, is responsible for tracking the approved budget and all expenditures related to all program areas. Each program area has a program lead who reports expenditures directly to the CAEP Director. The Director verifies the Consortium approved expenditure, obtains approval by the CAEP Chair, and submits for payment by the fiscal agent. The fiscal agent is responsible for creating CAEP funds in the Simpler System that reflect Consortium-approved budgets and ultimately certifies expenditures of programs that have been allocated funding. The fiscal agent is responsible for inserting the certified budgets and expenditure data in NOVA on a quarterly basis. The planned allocations are consistent with the annual plan and three-year plan and continue to meet our Consortium's estimated outcomes by providing programmatic needs and services and implementing new programs with Santa Barbara City College and external community partners. The Consortium is dedicated to: 1) Continue building bridges to credit for existing and new CAEP programs. 2) Fill gaps in Short Term Vocational Training and improve existing noncredit programs; 3) Establish support for AB705 needs in noncredit (when feasible); 4) Support the Adults with Disabilities Career Planning and Training Skills Competency Program serving as preparation for this population as further career technical and/or job placement assistance; 5) Maximize tuition-free offerings in all allowable CAEP categories and cross-pollinate with WIOA and Strong Workforce initiatives; 6) A commitment to the collection of accurate data and analytics for all CAEP programs and services, including from external partners; 7) Work with our credit partners in their Guided Pathways and Vision for Success initiatives; 8) Continue outreach to community providers of education and foster collaboration; 9) Be responsive to the recommendations of the BW Research Santa Barbara educational and workforce environmental scan and gaps analysis.
