Fiscal Management
Alignment & Carryover
SFUSD and CCSF prioritize direct services to students and system improvements in their AEP budgets. Most of the funds are spent on salaries for the teachers, counselors, and staff working directly on the activities described herein. The AEP budget for CCSF also aligns with the size of the different AE program areas. ESL is the largest program with the greatest number of teachers, course sections, enrolled students, and participants. The high school completion program is smaller and receives a proportionately smaller amount of funding. Investments in system improvements are budgeted based on the proportion of noncredit AE students who access those systems and services.
The Consortium members prioritize and plan their activities to align with the current funding level. CCSF currently has almost 100% carryover from 2023-24’s allocation. In 2023-24 senior leadership decided against funding part of the cost of noncredit instruction for courses that, in the absence of AEP funds, CCSF would be unable to offer. This caused the carryover. CCSF has decided to reinstate funding a portion of the cost of instruction for eligible AE classes, and the AE team has allocated roughly $1.5 million to support that activity. Continuing to do so for the duration of this three-year plan should restore the previous spending rates.
