- Narrative
- The 24-25 allocation schedule will enable SVAEC Members to maintain current levels of service and continue filling regional service gaps by funding each Member at a level equivalent to its baseline allocation, plus a proportionate distribution of the anticipated COLA to help cover salary/benefits increases. This allocation schedule was approved at an SVAEC Regular Steering Committee meeting on 3/20/24 (an open and public meeting held in person and via teleconference). CAEP funding has and will continue to be used for activities approved in its 3 -year and annual plans, including: 1. Instruction (adult ESL, Citizenship Prep, Digital Literacy, Basic Literacy, ABE/ASE, HSD/HSE, Workforce Readiness, AWD, K12 Success, and CTE) -- delivered through classroom and distance learning modalities; 2. Support Services (student outreach, onboarding, advising, and transition support; reduction of barriers like childcare and transportation; connection to career training and job placement services; and parent/guardian training to support child school success); 3. Program administration (including clerical functions for student intake and ongoing data collection and reporting); 4. Professional Development; and 5. Consortium administration and collaboration (including governance and compliance; marketing and outreach; program alignment; and partnership development). Note that the Consortium Shared Fund allocation and the Hartnell College allocation are combined in NOVA but are operationally separate.

Carryover Threshold
Input a percentage of carryover that your consortium agrees will be considered an excessive amount.
Should a member, or members, exceed this carryover percentage upon certification of their Q4 report, they will be flagged as non-compliant with the carryover legislation (EC 84914). One year of non-compliance does not carry a penalty. However, should the same member, or members, have two consecutive years of non-compliance the consortium may agree, by majority vote, to reallocate an amount that does not exceed the carryover to other members.
A consortium does have the ability to opt-out. To do so, simply toggle the carryover threshold button to the off position.
