Corrective Action Plan

The delay in purchasing a number of major expenditures including a mobile computer lab and student ID machine have contributed to expenditures falling below the Q1 target. Equipment has been identified and encumbered and will be included in Q2 expenditures addressing this issue. In addition, a delay in recruitment and hiring of new staff has also contributed to a spending shortfall in Q1. New positions have been identified and recruitment is in progress for Q2 hiring. Finally, delayed expenditures driven by the extended time to complete a marketing plan which will drive branding and design of print collateral and promotional materials to support increased enrollment and seamless transitions will be completed in Q2, but were planned for Q1.

Summary of Activities:

In alignment with the consortium plan, SWC AEP funds in Q1 provided for the maintenance of established activities, along with a number of new efforts highlighted here. Eighteen SWC faculty from a variety of disciplines were provided professional development training: Reading Apprenticeship 101. They are using the knowledge and skills gained to bring new approaches to their 2018-19 teaching delivery, with an emphasis on student success through raising reading skills across the district curricula. New noncredit curriculum development included six courses in Reading, two CE courses in Disaster/Emergency Community Response, and two courses in college prep for the behavioral sciences. Research was conducted to assess the nature, types and sources of information available to K-12 parents/guardians to help with their students’ success. That information is being used by a cross-district and community partner committee developing a pilot project for spring 2019 implementation.
