Fiscal Declaration

Consortium Name
55 Santa Clarita Valley Adult Education Consortium
Funding Channel
Direct Funded
Narrative
The Annual and Three-Year Plans for GatewaySCV address community need in many areas, including educational attainment, pathways between members, student and community-facing communications, as well as data elements to better capture outcomes at the community college. The planned allocations are in direct alignment with consortium goals, allowing members to focus on partnership, staffing, curriculum development, and other key areas integral to the success of current and possible students. As the only community college and high school district in the service area, it is vital our Districts work collaboratively to achieve outcomes, and our goals will enable us to develop strategies which enhance equity, access, and comprehensive adult education in the Santa Clarita Valley. Practitioners and experts in adult education take many forms, and our combined faculty and staff will be utilizing funds to enhance all programs, training, and staffing needs. According to the Claritas data received by College of the Canyons for the Santa Clarita Valley Adult Education Consortium, or GatewaySCV, and roughly 11% percent of adult residents in our valley have less than a high school diploma, and 10% of adults have limited English proficiency. IN addition, nearly 13% of adults in the valley are fully unemployed as of the last data set. This all speaks to substantive demand for our two agencies to collaborate and align in the most proficient manner possible to quickly yet strategically launch new opportunities and expand upon existing adult education programs to a larger number of residents in the valley. To accomplish this, funding will be devoted to data integrity, pathway mapping, transitions services, identifying gaps to increase outcomes, among other identified items in the Annual and Three Year Plans.
