Narrative
The ABOUT STUDENTS Consortium allocation distribution aligns with the annual plan focusing on maintaining members' program offerings in adult basic education, English as a second language, adult secondary education, and short-term career technical education. Member providers will offer learning opportunities by delivering instruction through in-person, distance learning, and hybrid models, expanding classes available to the community based on demand and local allowable guidelines. Additionally, consortium members will continue to increase short-term Career Technical Education programs, and improve outreach and communications to prospective students and the community addressing gaps in accessibility and efforts of economic recovery for the community. Members of the consortium are committed to data-driven decisions which will support literacy and digital skill development for students and broaden workforce and post-secondary education opportunities. Continued efforts to ensure for all populations, consortium members will continue to leverage the strength and resources of community partners through projects and networking. Adult education providers will continue to explore and provide additional opportunities to serve students who need workforce preparation, post-secondary transitions, and support for k-12 success. As the regional data analysis demonstrates the need for additional services in areas lacking adult education services, which increased during the pandemic and economic downturn in California. The ABOUT STUDENTS Consortium has developed the 2022-2025 Three-Year Plan which has identified goals and strategies for the regional focus and activities that members will engage in to build cohesive efforts and increase services. 1. Cultivate mutually-beneficial industry and community partnerships that create meaningful opportunities and pathways for students. 2. Grow and maintain student enrollment in all program areas reflective of the needs of the community. 3. Provide equitable, inclusive, and quality instruction and support services that maximize student achievement and success. 3. Provide equitable, inclusive, and quality instruction and support services that maximize student achievement and success. 4. Foster an organizational culture of excellence and continuous improvement. 5. Attract, retain, and develop skilled, dedicated student-centered administration and staff who are empowered to use forward-thinking and creativity to promote student success.
Changes
The ABOUT STUDENTS Consortium has made the following changes for the 2022-23 school year. During public and leadership team meetings The ABOUT STUDENTS Consortium Leadership has decided to re-allocate a portion of the Leadership Funds to members who are in need of additional funds. The amount that has been re-allocated is $200,000. Val Verde USD will receive $100,004 and the remaining amount of $99,996 will be split evenly between Alvord USD, Corona-Norco USD, Jurupa USD, Moreno Valley USD, Riverside CCD, and Riverside COE giving them each $16,666 of the re-allocated leadership funds. Riverside Adult School will reduce its ongoing allocation percentage from 33.65% to 32% so that the difference in COLA funds be allocated to Val Verde Adult School. This will help to assist Val Verde Adult School with program growth and sustainability for the future. RUSD Business Services performed multiyear projections to determine if RAS was able to sustain the allocation percentage reduction and it was determined sustainable.RUSD Superintendent, Cabinet, and RAS Leadership are all supportive of the growth in the region's adult schools. Riverside USD proposed the COLA proposal during the ABOUT STUDENTS Consortium Business Meeting on April 11, 2022, and was approved by all voting members of the consortium. Corona-Norco USD will be relinquishing the task of managing the leadership funds for the ABOUT STUDENTS Consortium effective July 1, 2022. Val Verde USD has agreed to maintain the leadership funds for the ABOUT STUDENTS Consortium and those funds of $211,581 have been added to their overall allocation for this purpose. Any leadership carryover funds will be transferred from CNUSD to Val Verde USD.
