- Funding Channel
- Direct Funded
- Narrative
- The Mt. SAC Regional Consortium for Adult Education approved the 2019-22 Three-Year Plan in June 2019. Major goals and objectives include the co-location of Americas Job Center (AJCC) offices at member sites, expanding integrated transition counseling across the adult school and college programs, and the establishment of a data tracking process for transitions. These goals are in addition to the provision of education programs and services for the mandated California Adult Education Program (CAEP) populations. East San Gabriel Valley Regional Occupational Program formally withdrew from the Consortium, effective June 30, 2020. The current Annual Plan for 2020-21, though based on the Three Year Plan, reflects activities as a result of the statewide COVID-19 virus response mandate in March 2020. All member districts and the college were shut down. Mt. SAC School of Continuing Education fully transitioned to online education programs as of March 30, 2020, and member school districts completed their transition to distance/online learning structure in April 2020. The pandemic had devastating effects for the 2020-21 school year on our students, local and regional economy with unemployment levels, though slowly recovering, they are still in double-digits for the major cities within our consortium area. The Steering Committee of the Consortium has decided to pursue the modification of our 3 Year Plan goals for the remainder of this planning period. Though funding appears to be maintained (via the 2021-22 CA budget proposal), concerns regarding future funding continue surrounding the pandemic impact on the state economy, response procedure implementation, rising staff and operational costs, and local school employee union contract potential financial obligations. Budget cuts remain a looming issue related to sustained planning. Overarching goals are now focused on economic recovery for our students and the region. Member school priorities include student retention, reconnecting with those who did not complete their programs due to the pandemic, and recruiting new adult learners via marketing efforts and direct outreach. The planned expansion of consortium staffing is on hold temporarily. Continued focus on interaction and engagement with AJCC s and related student support agencies. Expenditures reflect ensuring student and staff safety precautions via the provision of required personal protective equipment, expanded technology for distance learning for students and staff, equity-related training, and continued professional development. Continued focus on education and services to adults with disabilities remains a priority of the consortium. Member expenses and budgets should also reflect an emphasis on these stated areas. The current Consortium Fiscal Administration Declaration (CFAD) was approved at the publicly noticed, Steering Committee meeting on April 19, 2021.
