Narrative
After carefully meeting with each consortium member and assessing the needs based on their region and demographics, we convened at our last board meeting on 3/24/25 to finalize our allocations. The consortium determined that the allocations already formulated by the state formula and based on last year's allocation remain consistent with the work and annual plans submitted yearly. These allocations directly support the implementation of our Annual Adult Education Plan, which operationalizes the objectives established in our CAEP 3-Year Plan (which we are currently working on). While some members are interested in implementing new programs, we currently lack sufficient funding to fully implement these initiatives. Therefore, our strategy focuses on maintaining and strengthening our existing core services, which address identified educational gaps in our community.
Changes
While modest adjustments were made to some member allocations, these changes were not substantial less than 10% of funding was strategically redistributed to support personnel costs at various Adult Education program sites, primarily to address COLA requirements.
