Allocation Amendment Summary

Fiscal Declaration

The Fiscal Declaration information in this section has been provided as a courtesy. It has not been changed since CFAD has been approved by the Member Representatives.

Consortium Name
57 Sequoias Adult Education Consortium (SAEC)
Funding Channel
Direct Funded
Narrative
All SAEC member base fund allocations were originally aligned with our consortium's first 3-year, comprehensive plan in 2015/16. That plan identified gaps in the regional adult education system and strategies which would fill those gaps, accelerate students towards goal attainment, create transitions for students to next program and/or work, and leverage regional resources. Currently, California Education Code 84914(b)(1) states that, "[f]or any fiscal year for which the chancellor and the Superintendent allocate an amount of funds to the consortium greater than the amount allocated in the prior fiscal year, the amount of funds to be distributed to a member of that consortium shall be equal to or greater than the amount distributed in the prior fiscal year, unless the consortium makes at least one of the following findings related to the member for which the distribution would be reduced: (A) The member no longer wishes to provide services consistent with the adult education plan. (B) The member cannot provide services that address the needs identified in the adult education plan. (C) The member has been consistently ineffective in providing services that address the needs identified in the adult education plan and reasonable interventions have not resulted in improvements. Since 2015, all SAEC members have wished to provided services consistent with the adult education plan(s), have been able to provide services that address the needs identified in the adult education plan(s), and have been consistently effective in providing services that address the needs identified in the adult education plan(s). Furthermore, until the 2021/22 Program Year, no SAEC funded member has wished to have their allocation decreased, or desired to relinquish a part of their allocation. Therefore, each program year, since 2015, each SAEC member has been legally entitled to an allocation equal to or greater than the amount distributed to them in the prior fiscal year.
Changes
Sequoias Community College District has self-elected and voted to affirm in a publicly noticed SAEC Board Meeting (April 6, 2021) the wish to relinquish a portion of district's 2021/22 allocation. Those relinquished funds will be distributed amongst several small district member providers based on a reported program hour formula to equalize member allocations. Large district member providers will be allocated funds in accordance with California Education Code 84914(b)(1). This redistribution of funds will re-benchmark the SAEC member allocations henceforth.
