Narrative
During the 2020-21 implementation period, the SAEC continued to make progress across multiple strategy areas identified in the Consortium s Annual Plan and Three-Year Plan. Specifically, the Consortium achieved the following regional accomplishments: 1) invested in pre-apprenticeship programs and partnerships; 2) strengthened work-readiness and co-enrollment for high school diploma students; and 3) focused on DEI professional development opportunities. Moving into the 2021-22 implementation period, the SAEC continued to build on its momentum across these and other regional strategy areas while continuing to pivot services as needed in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the 2021-22 time period, Consortium members shifted to remote delivery of courses to meet students needs during the pandemic. Consortium members provided remote, hybrid, and in-person course offerings in 2021-22, with the latter following state and local guidance to ensure staff and student safety. The SAEC used California Adult Education Program (CAEP) funds in 2021-22 to increase access to academic and career learning opportunities; continued to improve the understanding and removal of barriers faced by adult learners facing systemic racial injustices; expanded awareness of and connections to support services and resources; and implemented evidence-based instructional strategies for online and hybrid learning environments. The Consortium is now working on the CAEP 3-year plan (2022-2025) building upon key learnings in 2020-2021, 2021-2022 to identify strategic priorities/objectives, develop strategies/activities to address challenges in adult education.
Changes
The SAEC s 2022-23 CFAD has changes in funding amounts to all members from their 2021-22 CFAD allocation. The SAEC s allocation for the FY 2022-23 is $4,408,192 which includes a COLA of 5.33% and is an increase of $223,067 from the previous year s allocation amount. The State approved COLA of 5.33% has been applied proportionally to all SAEC members budget requests. Please see the table below for a detailed accounting of the SAEC s fiscal year 2022-23 allocations. Common Count Amount: The 2022-2023 common cost amount is $102,571. This is the same common cost amount from NOVA in 2021-2022: $102,571. The common costs have historically been used for paying the Consortium Manager s (RDA) contract and paid by SCOE. NOTE: The RDA contract cost in 2020-2021 was $100,600 and in 2021-2022 was $104,100. The SAEC members developed and approved the 2022-23 CAEP allocation budget through the annual budget development process as outlined in the SAEC s budget agreement document. The final allocation budget outlined in this CFAD was approved by board-designated, voting members at the SAEC Monthly meeting, a public meeting on April 29, 2022.
