- Narrative
- The planned allocations for 2025–2026 are intentionally aligned with the consortium’s annual adult education plan and directly reflect the priorities established in the CAEP three-year plan. Each investment area is designed to strengthen access, persistence, and successful transitions for adult learners while addressing documented regional needs. The expansion of ESL and multilingual learner programming is another key priority reflected in the budget. Allocations for additional instructors, contextualized curriculum, and hybrid delivery models ensure that English learners receive high-quality, accessible instruction. This aligns with the consortium’s commitment to serving a diverse population and increasing educational and workforce opportunities for multilingual communities. Planned expenditures also support the development and scaling of short-term CTE and career pathway programs in high-demand sectors such as healthcare, transportation, construction, early childhood education, and fire prevention. These investments are grounded in labor market data and reflect the three-year plan’s focus on aligning adult education with regional workforce needs, thereby improving employment outcomes and economic mobility. To better serve working adults and geographically isolated learners, funds are allocated to expand flexible scheduling and instructional modalities, including evening, asynchronous, and hybrid courses. This approach directly supports the plan’s goal of increasing access and participation by accommodating diverse student schedules and life circumstances. Staff development remains a critical component of instructional quality, and allocations for professional development ensure that educators are equipped with skills in trauma-informed practices, digital tools, and culturally responsive teaching. These efforts strengthen program effectiveness and align with the consortium’s commitment to continuous improvement. Additionally, resources are dedicated to improving postsecondary and workforce transitions through strengthened partnerships with employers and clearer pathways to higher education. This includes coordination with regional institutions to ensure seamless transitions for students pursuing further education or career advancement. Finally, targeted outreach and marketing investments support the identification and engagement of priority populations, including disconnected youth, low-income adults, and multilingual learners. These efforts are essential to meeting enrollment goals and ensuring that services reach those most in need. Overall, the planned allocations demonstrate a cohesive and strategic use of resources that fully aligns with the CAEP three-year plan, ensuring that programs are accessible, responsive, and outcomes-driven.

Member Allocations
I certify that this CFAD is true and accurate. Our consortium certifies that the allocations listed correctly represent all funded members and their respective amounts.
Carryover Threshold
Input a percentage of carryover that your consortium agrees will be considered an excessive amount.
Should a member, or members, exceed this carryover percentage upon certification of their Q4 report, they will be flagged as non-compliant with the carryover legislation (EC 84914). One year of non-compliance does not carry a penalty. However, should the same member, or members, have two consecutive years of non-compliance the consortium may agree, by majority vote, to reallocate an amount that does not exceed the carryover to other members.
A consortium does have the ability to opt-out. To do so, simply toggle the carryover threshold button to the off position.
