Narrative
Our planned allocations are aligned with our three year consortium plan. Funding amounts are allocated based on our collective plan and the individual commitments we have made to support our goals as a consortium. We have made progress over this past year in implementing some of our key focus areas such as high school diploma completions, data collection, and student services. Our continued goal is to increase career training offerings across the region. The consortium will continue to invest in technological devices to support student access and equity across the region. It is our plan to continue funding counseling supports throughout the consortium that can facilitate transitions of students to post-secondary and workforce opportunities. Strengthening our CTE programs across the region continues to be a primary funding focus our consortium. We will continue supporting building capacity of all program staff through professional development opportunities, and we will invest in increasing our marketing and outreach efforts to increase our visibility within the region.

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 AB 1491 legislation. 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.

Carryover Threshold

Consortia Report on Governance Compliance of Rules and Procedures v.2

1. Have all community college districts, school districts, county offices of education, or any joint powers authority, located within the boundaries of the adult education region been allowed to join the consortium as a member?

Yes

2. Have all members committed to reporting any funds available to that member for the purposes of education and workforce services for adults and the uses of those funds?

Yes

Each consortium agency has a fiscal team that reports quarterly expenses to the consortium fiscal lead who reports funding on behalf of the consortium. Every quarter our consortium will review our quarterly expenditures and evaluate the alignment with the activities of the program. 

The consortium steering committee is represented by the principal/administrator of each agency which is appointed by the governing board of each agency. 

Members participate actively in monthly meetings with a set agenda of decision making items. Every decision requires quorum from the steering committee. 

6. What will be the relative voting power of each member?

1 member = 1 vote

7. How will decisions be approved?

by majority vote of 51%

Following the guidelines of CAEP guidance, the steering committee evaluated different decision making models and reached a consensus that majority vote of 51% was the model best fitting our consortium structure. 

Our consortium invites partners and community members to our monthly meetings. The meetings are open to the general public in which they can contribute with comments. Our meeting agenda will be posted to our website prior to our meetings available for public access. The minutes are published on our website according to Brown act guidelines. 

Through the minutes published on our website, we will inform the public of consortium decision., We will also review the submitted feedback at our monthly meetings. 

Feedback from public comments will be discussed at monthly meetings where the public has access. Any comments gathered at monthly meetings will be published within the minutes which are posted on our website 

The process will include inviting members, partners, and all consortium stakeholders to our monthly meetings and to our annual community forum. Every year teachers and students have access to a survey that allows them to provide input about effectiveness of services across the region 

The consortium steering committee approves the distribution schedule annually 

14. Has the consortium A) designated a member to serve as the fund administrator to receive and distribute funds from the program or B) chosen to have a funds flow directly to the member districts based upon the approved distribution schedule?

A) designated a member to serve as the fund administrator to receive and distribute funds from the program

The steering committee approves membership annually. The consortium will utilize bylaws and CAEP guidance to inform members who wish to leave or require dismissal. 

We have decided to opt out of defining "excessive" member carryover for the 23-24 fiscal year. We will adhere to the 20% carryover threshold as a baseline for our spend out at the consortium level.  

We will perform a quarterly analysis of consortium expenses to ensure we're meeting the 20% carryover threshold. Our consortium will be working on creating bylaws that will help to provide members with technical assistance to address carryover issues. 

Member effectiveness is defined per CAEP assurances in regard to program area reporting of leveraged funds and instructional hours. Member funding should be aligned 3 year plan, annual plan, and member district's work plan. Members expenditures adhere to allowable use of funds as identified in the CAEP fiscal management guide. 

It is our plan to create bylaws for our consortium by the end of this school year to address member effectiveness and help guide program and funding decisions. 

20. Does the consortium have a formal document detailing its work beyond the questionnaire?

No

We do not have a specific document in place at this time, but every member has access to the member effectiveness guidance provided by CAEP state representatives.
