Students

Going back to school and getting my high school diploma was one of the greatest things I accomplished in my life.

AEP Questions and Answers

This is a collection of questions that are most frequently asked of the AEP Office. They are organized by topic area and will be updated as needed.

Other/General

The Consortium List can be found here
Once you click on a consortium, you will be able to view their Annual Plan.

"The CAEP deliverables can be found on the Due Dates Calendar. The deliverables are also located in the CAEP Beginning of Year Letter and the Fiscal Management Guide for fiscal reporting. CAEP deliverables include the following:

The Annual Plan (A consortium deliverable due August 15th of each year)
The Three Year Plan (A consortium deliverable due in June of the three year cycle)
Quarterly student data submission (An agency deliverable; due dates are included in the Beginning of Year Letter)
Quarterly expenditure reports (An agency deliverable; due dates are included in the Fiscal Management Guide and on the Due Dates Calendar)
CAEP Budgets and Work Plan (An agency deliverable; due date is included in the Fiscal Management Guide)
CAEP Program Area Report (An agency level deliverable; due date is included in the Beginning of Year Letter)

CAEP does not have require an employment and earning survey, nor a technology and professional development plan. CAEP funding is a yearly allocation based on the Governor's budget, which may or may not include a COLA. There are no opportunities for additional funding unless an allocation amendment from another member is completed.

On the Fact Sheet page - once you have selected a consortium - scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. At the bottom of the page, there will be a download button.

The archived newsletters can be found on the California Adult Education website under Administrator and then News section.

Any agency that would like to become part of a consortium will need to reach out to the Consortium Lead and make that request. Additions are handled at the consortia level. Consortia contacts can be found on the caladulted.org website under Administrators, About Us, Consortia List.

If your questions are related to WIOA II - you can contact your CDE consultant directly. If your questions are related to CAEP, TAP is your first point of contact.

If WIOA II and you do not know who your CDE consultant is, please email TAP and they can help identify who your consultant is.

CAEP is not the WIOA II grant – but we follow all the same protocols and metrics. A local assessment policy would be a good idea, and if you are using CASAS/TOPSPro, you must have a local assessment policy to pre/post test. We would suggest you check with your regional consortium on what the practice is for the region.

The percent shown includes students who are enrolled in high school.

The numbers on the ACS tab are subcategories of the general population (in other words, you do not need to worry about the 16-17 year old category).

If you apply the Disconnected Youth filter, this will give you a more accurate picture of the youth population that would be aligned with the CAEP eligibility. Since 16-17 year olds are allowable under WIOA II, they are included in the overall number; however, they are disaggregated out by age so that users can identify their target population based on CAEP eligibility of 18+ (i.e., they can exclude the 16-17 year olds from their counts).

The Directors' Corner is for Consortium Directors, not for all directors within the consortium. The space was created for consortia leads to have a place to connect and collaborate with other consortia leads.

The San Francisco area does have a consortium. You can find their contact information here. Each consortium has public meetings, but you will need to reach out to them to see when and where. The CAEP program serves students 18 and over only, and only in the approved program areas.

"As per our records, two member consortia are:

01 Allan Hancock
02 Antelope Valley
13 Morongo Basin AEBG Consortium (Copper Mountain)

48 San Diego Adult Education Regional Consortium
49 San Francisco Adult Education Consortium
55 Santa Clarita Valley Adult Education Consortium
56 Santa Monica Regional Consortium for Adult Education

The due date is set for June 15 for the next program year. In addition, any time a class is added, the Course Approvals request should be resubmitted. This is an expectation for all CAEP and/or WIOA-funded K-12 Adult and County Offices of Education.

If you need access to Course Approvals, reach out to your CDE Education Program Consultant.

The adult school should be working with the District to address this complaint. Adult Education programs are not typically staffed to meet the needs of individuals with IEPs. There should be something in writing that identifies what the adult school will do if an individual indicates they need services related to their IEP and they are not yet 22. Students who are not yet 22 years old are typically served by the District. Adult Schools often have an option to create a 504 Plan for those who identify as needing accommodations.

The Consortium may want to consider supporting members by:
Collaborate with a Legal Department from the College or one of the member districts to discuss IEPs and 504s and how they're used within each of your member agencies.
Work with your consortium members to identify how you're making students aware of what they need to do if they need accommodations (Statements in Student Handbooks, Orientations and, perhaps, guidance from the Adult Ed counselor or transition specialist).
The Consortium may also act as a resource as needed.
Beyond Professional Development, the consortium should not have responsibility for this concern.
