Objective #1: Address Educational Needs
Student Retention Plan
Objective #2: Improve Integration of Services & Transitions
Comprehensive career and education planning
Every student will be provided with personalized education and career planning goals based on career assessments. These efforts will be coordinated with workforce development agencies and Antelope Valley Community College to ensure comprehensive support. Each student, in collaboration with their school counselor and teacher, will develop a personalized “My Plan for the Future,” outlining their academic and career pathway. This plan will play a crucial role in supporting students' success in achieving their career and technical education (CTE) pathways and certifications, facilitating a smooth transition into the workforce and post-secondary education.

Fiscal Management
Alignment & Carryover
The planned usage of allocations for 2025-26 directly aligns with the consortium's Three-Year Plan objectives through strategic fund allocation that maximizes impact while ensuring program sustainability. Primary CAEP funding supports the daily operations of essential programs, including English Language (EL), High School Diploma/High School Equivalency (HSD/HSE), English Language Civics (EL Civics), and Career Technical Education (CTE) programs.
The allocation strategy prioritizes maintaining core educational services that serve as the foundation for student success while strategically investing in infrastructure that will enhance long-term program effectiveness. The consortium's approach ensures continued access to foundational education programs while building capacity for expanded workforce development opportunities.
Fund allocation supports the three strategic objectives outlined in the Three-Year Plan: addressing educational needs through comprehensive student support services, improving integration of services through coordinated career and education planning, and enhancing effectiveness through facility improvements and technology upgrades. The planned expenditures directly support the achievement of performance targets.
The consortium has strategically designated all carryover funds from prior years specifically for the construction of the comprehensive Workforce Development Center, representing a substantial investment in infrastructure that will transform program delivery capacity. This approach ensures that accumulated funds are utilized for transformative improvements rather than recurring operational expenses.
The carryover fund allocation strategy aligns with Education Code 84914 requirements by directing funds toward a time-limited capital project that will enhance long-term program effectiveness. The Workforce Development Center construction represents a strategic investment that will support expanded CTE programming, pre-apprenticeship opportunities, and enhanced industry partnerships for years to come.
This approach maximizes the impact of carryover funds by creating permanent infrastructure improvements that will benefit multiple student cohorts and program areas. The center will provide dedicated space for specialized training programs, modern equipment, and industry-standard facilities that would not be possible through annual operational funding alone.
Usage
The consortium will strategically allocate funds to support both operational excellence and transformative improvements. Operational funding will sustain core programming, including instructor salaries, program materials, technology resources, and student support services. Staff professional development will focus on career planning tools, assessment interpretation, and industry-aligned curriculum development.
Capital investments which will be paired with federal braided funding, will prioritize the Workforce Development Center construction, facility improvements, and technology upgrades that support expanded program delivery. Equipment purchases will focus on industry-standard tools and technology necessary for CTE programs, particularly in healthcare, information technology, and manufacturing pathways.
Marketing and outreach initiatives will increase awareness of services among target populations, while wraparound services will address transportation, childcare, and other barriers that impact student success. The consortium will also invest in data systems improvements that support comprehensive student tracking and program evaluation.
The fund allocation strategy ensures balanced investment in both immediate student needs and long-term capacity building, positioning the consortium to achieve its Three-Year Plan objectives while maintaining high-quality program delivery throughout the implementation period.
