Consortium Name
36 Napa Valley Adult Education Consortium
Funding Channel
Direct Funded
Narrative
There are five funded members in the Napa Valley Adult Education Consortium (NVAEC) - Napa Valley Adult Education (NVAE), Napa Valley College (NVC), Napa County Office of Education (NCOE), Calistoga Joint Union School District (CJUSD), and St. Helena Unified School District (SHUSD). As in the past, the vast majority of funding will continue to go to NVAE, the largest provider of AEP-funded adult education services in the region for Maintenance of Effort (MOE). NVC will continue to receive the next largest amount, followed by NCOE, CJUSD and SHUSD respectively. The additional COLA will be shared among all partners proportionate to the percentage of funds currently allocated. NVAE provides educational programs to adult learners in SHUSD and CJUSD ("upvalley") who do not maintain K-12 adult education through their general funds. Planned allocations are consistent and aligned with the goals identified in NVAEC's 2022-25 Three-Year Plan, which in turn determines the specific actions in the annual plan. The focus areas of AEP funds specified in current legislation are directly connected to the three objectives in the 2022-25 NVAEC Three-Year Plan: Address Educational Needs Description of Objective Increase enrollment and completion in ESL, HSD/HSE, ABE, citizenship, Career Technical Education/pathway programs, and non-credit college programs to improve educational and career objectives throughout Napa County by: - developing and marketing an outreach/enrollment campaign - providing flexible scheduling (including location and online options) and childcare - including "soft skills" instruction in ESL, CTE, and pathway classes/programs with potential certification - developing additional pathways to address gaps - evaluating CTE programs and pathways to compare with new industries expected to move into Napa County - aligning pathways at NVAE to pathways at NVC Improve Integration of Services & Transitions Description of Objective Increase awareness of educational training and pathways to improve integration of services and transitions into postsecondary education and the workforce by: - recruiting and enrolling individuals into adult ed programs and apprenticeships - co-locating/bridging programs between NVAE and NVC - providing transition specialist support and activities - improving connections and contacts between service providers & organizations through use of CommunityPro Suite - providing a full range of student services to complete programs - financial assistance, housing, access to food/nutrition, childcare, books & materials, physical and mental health services, etc. (addresses gap identified in ENTRY: Self-Assessment tool) Improve Effectiveness of Services Description of Objective Improve the effectiveness of the Napa Valley Adult Education Consortium and its services by: - improving data collection practices and using it to inform consortium progress and change - providing, accessing, and participating in targeted professional development aligned with objectives and goals - revising bylaws as needed to maintain effectiveness - addressing gaps identified in Self-Assessment tool - PROGRESS: sharing tools and procedures for collecting counseling, transition, and support services data and provide coordinated referrals to members/partners (CPS) - TRANSITION: maintaining bridge classes at NVAE to introduce students to NVC classes; working with students to support enrollment at NVC
