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
68 West Kern Consortium
Funding Channel
Fiscal Agent
Fiscal Agent
Not Selected
Narrative
West Kern Adult Education Network (WKAEN) has always been the agency allocated to spend the funds as per the Annual Plan, 3 Year Plan and CFAD. Since WKAEN is no longer part of the college but a separate entity, a special district, (WKAEN JPA), the agency will still provide all services for the consortium and follow all plans as required.
Changes
The only change this year is in the pass through funding as West Kern Community College District is only the pass through entity for the funds which are allocated to only one member of the consortium, West Kern Adult Education Network JPA (WKAEN). Instead of WKCCD being the fiscal agent, the college district will have no oversight responsibilities other than to pass the funds through within the 45 days to WKAEN. WKAEN will continue to administer all funds according to the structure of the Annual Plan and 3 Year Plan, under the guidance of the WKAEN Consortium Board.
