GGAE- Digital Navigators
Technology support will be provided for all GGAE students during the mandatory two-day New Student Orientation. On the second day of the orientation students are supported to log into their new school email, check their Google account, and take the CASAS Student Technology Survey. GGAE will provide access to computer lab time for all students to receive digital technology support (creating an email, using student assigned .net accounts, Zoom support, interacting with Google Classroom, typing accuracy, Chromebook operation). All classrooms are equipped with a class set of Chromebooks and GGAE has a Student Technology Check out program available for all students with 12+ hours of attendance. Providing the technology support will increase student persistence as demonstrated by the WIOA Title II Persister Report (CASAS Data Portal).
By the end of 2025-26, at least 90% of GGAE students will receive structured technology support, including school email setup, Google and Burlington English account access, and completion of the GGAE End of Semester Survey and the CASAS Student Technology Survey, to ensure equitable access to digital tools and improve student persistence by 2% as measured by the WIOA Title II Persister Report.

Fiscal Management
Alignment & Carryover
The Executive Committee of CAEC discusses regularly the allocation of funds, taking into account the multiple funding streams available to each member. These include, but are not limited to, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) II, CalWORKs, the Strong Workforce Program, and the ELL Healthcare Pathways Grant. Section 4 in the CAEC bylaws states that:
- The CAEC recognizes members have multiple revenue streams that directly or indirectly support the purpose of the CAEC.
- The CAEC recognizes that it will receive an annual allocation of funding from the California Adult Education Program (CAEP).
- The CAEC will annually allocate funding for members in accordance with the law and the annual plans and budget developed and agreed by the Executive Committee.
- Mandated and contract negotiated cost increases will be considered first in developing the annual budget before other grant funded projects.
CAEC remains committed to allocating funds in accordance with applicable statutes and its bylaws to best meet the needs of the communities served by the CAEC.
In an effort to provide students maximum services funded through the CAEP consortium, funded members make every effort to expend funds according the agreed upon plan by the end of each fiscal year. In the case that funds remain for any fiscal year the following process is followed: Members with unexpended funds provide a narrative explaining the reason for the carryover and, if applicable, what part of their respective plan was not carried out. Member carryover funds were considered in the development of the 2025-26 annual plan. Members have first opportunity to expend in the following year any funds they carryover as long as plans to expend such fund are in accordance with the approved plan for that year. If a member is not able to develop a plan for expenditure of carryover funds that is aligned with the approved plan, then those funds will be made available for other consortium projects.
