Narrative
During the 2022-23 program year, ACCEL San Mateo County made progress across the strategies identified in the consortium s three year strategic plan. ACCEL member organizations continued advancing its priorities of collaboration, shared processes, aligning career and academic standards, establishing relationships with nonprofit and community based organizations to leverage resources for student support services, increasing accelerated learning and on-going development of short term career technical education programs. ACCEL s planned allocations for the upcoming program year 2023-24 were guided by and in alignment with the consortium s three-year plan (2022-2025). The consortium will continue to move forward in its efforts and commitment to ensure that all students have effective pathways to success in career, college, and community. ACCEL seeks to continuously improve adult education throughout the region, improve literacy skills, increase completion of high school diplomas/high school equivalency, college preparation and transition to postsecondary study, completion of postsecondary certificates, degrees, and/or training programs. Building on the work of ACCEL s project teams, the consortium will continue to focus on our strategic priorities as specified in our 3 Year Strategic Plan, which include but are not limited to: career pathway projects/employer engagement opportunities, alignment of data systems across member adult schools and community colleges; and sharing of data, findings, program recommendations and best practices. Project team members work collaboratively and share responsibility for the achievement of project milestones, as well as defining the parameters for evaluation and program effectiveness. Data derived from the project teams guide ACCEL s strategies for the identification of regional needs, addressing regional gaps, leveraging resources, and potential collaboration/partnership with local government, non-profit and community-based agencies.
Changes
April 6, 2023, ACCEL's Management Team consisting of its adult school directors/principals and community college directors/deans voted to approve the 2023-24 proposed member allocations, as well as an allocation in the amount of $378,688 for ACCEL's General Fund. Each ACCEL funded member contributes to the ACCEL General Fund (the general fund in included in the allocation distribution). ACCEL's General Fund covers operating expenses of the consortium, including salary and benefits for the consortium's executive director and administrative assistant. The Consortium's executive director is hired by the San Mateo Adult School; as a result ACCEL's General Fund is managed by the same. Therefore, San Mateo Adult School's allocation as reflected in NOVA consists of: $5,356,979; and ACCEL's General Fund allocation: $378,688 for a combined total of $5,735,667. On April 20, 2023, ACCEL's steering committee in their public meeting approved the proposed 2023-24 funding allocations, including the allocation for the ACCEL General Fund.
