Narrative
In 2022-2023, Solano Adult Education Consortium (SAEC) developed both its annual and three-year plan. When developing the three-year plan, SAEC reflected on accomplishments and challenges from the previous plan and identified the following goals: (1) Increase marketing and outreach efforts among SAEC; (2) Increase support for undocumented students; (3) Develop and implement dual enrollment; (4) Develop pathways to employment; (5) Develop data driven solutions for consortium; (6) Collaborate to offer consortium wide professional development opportunities. For its annual education plan, SAEC prioritized increasing marketing and outreach efforts among SAEC to: (1) Create an enrollment campaign; (2) Create offerings that match student needs; and (3) Develop and implement dual enrollment. In addition, SAEC prioritized developing data driven solutions for the consortium. During the previous implementation period (2019-2022), the SAEC continued to make progress across multiple strategy areas identified in the previous Consortium s Annual Plan and Three-Year Plan. Specifically, the Consortium achieved the following regional accomplishments: (1) Implemented DEI/Anti-Racism Initiatives by hiring an external consultant (RSS Consulting) to engage the Consortium; (2) Remained adaptive to responding to community needs throughout the three-year period; (3) Created data integration mechanisms through monthly Data and Accountability Workgroup meetings with all SAEC board members to analyze and understand gaps in data and solutions; and (4) To accommodate students continual learning during the pandemic, many schools implemented more virtual learning opportunities for students for class instruction as well as remote testing for CASAS.
Changes
The SAEC s 2023-24 CFAD has changes in funding amounts to all members from their 2022-2023 CFAD allocation. The SAEC s allocation for the FY 2023-24 is $4,822,242 which includes a COLA of 8.13% and is an increase of $362,570 from the previous year s allocation amount. The State approved COLA of 8.13% 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 2023-24 allocations. Common Cost Amount: The 2023-2024 common cost amount is $113,348. The common costs have historically been used for paying the Consortium Manager s (RDA) contract, GoDaddy, and indirect costs. Solano County of Education (SCOE) has traditionally paid for the Common Costs on behalf of the Consortium. NOTE: The RDA contract cost in 2022-2023 was $107,660 and 2021-2022 was $104,100. Vallejo Adult School s COLA allocation is $147,174 and will provide $20,000 (leaving it $127,174) to SCOE from its allocation to cover a portion of the common costs. So, Vallejo Adult School s COLA amount will be $127,714 or a new allocation of $1,895,821. The SAEC members developed and approved the 2023-24 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 21, 2023.

Amended Member Allocations for 2023-24

Type of allocation amendment

Standard member transfer

Pursuant to Education Code rules under EC 84914 Section B, this amendment is due to the 60 Solano Adult Education Consortium (SAEC) member, Solano County Office of Education (SCOE), no longer being the Administrative Unit (AU) for the SAEC, and therefore the member is unable to provide services covered by consortium common cost funds. Vallejo City Unified School District will now assume the role as the AU for SAEC per the Board vote on August 10, 2023. This is the initial transfer of AU funds. Once all outstanding expenses have been paid to close-out the prior program year, a second transfer of remaining funds from the outgoing AU will be transferred to the new AU within 90 days.
