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
61 Sonoma County Adult Education Consortium
Funding Channel
Direct Funded
Narrative
The Sonoma County Adult Education Consortium (SCAEC) will adhere to the Annual Plan for 2024-25, which will be based on the SCAEC Three-Year Plan. This consortium is direct funded, and it is the goal to continue with this model. All the service providers agreed that the current direct funded model works well, and they are not interested in reverting back to the fiscal agent model. The allocation percentage for the three agencies has remained consistent over the past years, with approximately 38-39% going to SRJC, a little over 53% going to PAS, and close to 8% going to SCOE. The allocations for each service provider might vary depending on the annual allocations to the consortium, but the percentage of the split remains the same. The allocations provided here were reviewed and approved by all consortium members during oversight committee meeting held on April 16th, 2025.

Amended Member Allocations for 2025-26

Type of allocation amendment

Standard member transfer

Since SCOE has reduced the number of classes they had offered before the pandemic, they have been unable to spend their funds as expected. Therefore, SCOE has agreed to have their PY 2025-25 allocation reduced by 50%. These funds will be split evenly between SRJC and PAS, just for the 2025-2026 program year. The allocation split for all three agencies will return to the previous percentages as in past years for the following program year of 2026-2027.

The new allocations for the 2025-2026 program year are:

Petaluma Adult School: $1,778,205

Santa Rosa Junior College: $1,316,854
