Narrative
Allocations for the 3 service providers in the Sonoma County Adult Education Consortium for the 2022-23 fiscal year were agreed upon by the consortium members through a formal vote of the Oversight Committee on April 13, 2022, & are aligned with the goals and objectives in both the annual and three-year plans. Due to the pandemic, the 3 service providers have been offering all of their classes online since March 2020. However, this program year many more classes are being offered in person. Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) will continue to offer non-credit ESL, HSE (English & Spanish) & Career Education (bilingual format- English & Spanish) both in-person & online. SRJC will work on creating more partnerships with nonprofit organizations and school districts in the next 3 years. Through a new grant, SRJC is partnering with Golden Gate Transit, California Transit Works & the Amalgamated Transit Union to create an innovative Bus Operator Pre-Apprenticeship program. The first classes will be offered in fall 2022. SRJC also has 3 new certificate programs that will be offered in PY 2022-23: Tax Preparation, Social Media for Business & Fire Resilient Landscaping. SRJC will continue doing CASAS testing both in person for the ESL & HSE classes that are offered in person, & remotely for the classes that are being offered online. SRJC will also continue with their laptop & hotspot distribution in Santa Rosa, Healdsburg & Sonoma. Petaluma Adult School (PAS) offered fully online classes during portions of the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years. Toward the end of 2021, PAS began the transition back to in-person classes, and in 2021-22 has a full array of classes in all programs available for in-person instruction as well as some options for online learning. With the 2022-23 allocated funds, PAS will continue to offer ESL & Citizenship classes in person & restore the full number of hours for each class and section to pre pandemic times. PAS will expand the hours, days & locations for our HSD and HSE (English & Spanish) to include a new site in Sonoma, bringing the total ASE sites to 6 located in 4 Sonoma County cities. They will continue to offer HiSET testing & recently added 3 more test sections to meet the demand. Instruction will continue primarily in person with additional virtual classes. PAS will continue to offer & expand the hours for AVANCE, Pasitos, Primeros Pasitos, Ready for Kindergarten & Abriendo Puertas. Their Family Resource Center will concentrate on wrap-around services & supports for their students as well as developing collaborations with business & social service partners. A new area of development is English & Newcomer classes for the refugee populations in our area, including Afghans & Ukranians. Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE) also adjusted programming with the onset of the pandemic. Due to the hands-on nature of the construction program, classes that were in progress at that time were suspended. Missed class sessions were made up with a pivot to distance learning in 2020-21. In-person offerings were resumed in the 2021-22 school year & included the addition of skill-specific clinics. With the 2022-23 allocated funds, SCOE will continue to offer construction courses in 2 areas of the county: Sonoma and Santa Rosa. They are looking to expand their offerings to include 2 Advance Construction courses, complemented by skill-specific clinics each semester. Courses will continue to be held in both Sonoma and Santa Rosa.
