Fiscal Management
Alignment & Carryover
The ADR drives Pasadena Area Consortium processes, especially the the Three-Year Plan and the Annual Plan process . PAC Board Representatives analyze member enrollment to make funding allocation decisions. PAC stakeholders analyze consortium demographics of its students and the cities in which they live to identify regional gaps. Marketing efforts for CTE, ESL, and ASE/ABE rely on stakeholder analysis of performance and enrollment data. PAC subcommittees use the data to drive efforts at improving consortium efficiencies and increasing leveraged resources.
No PAC member has significant carryover, especially carryover that approaches the 20% threshold noted in education code 84914. Accordingly, the consortium has no need to plan member activities to address carryover funds.
