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

The CAEP Office is deferring to the County Public Health Departments, the County Office of Education and the local school district to decide when students are allowed to go back to their internships. Please check with these entities in your respective county for clearance and guidance.

"The best option to discuss this topic with others is in the Google COVID-19 Group. That is where you can post the question and others can weigh in and give their input.

"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.

"

Yes - your consortium's student data will be made available through your CDE consultant after the survey has closed.

Yes, unfunded members still have to approve the CFAD, the annual plan and allocation amendments. Unfunded members do not have to complete Budget & Work Plans, quarterly fiscal reporting, or student data submissions (only if unfunded member is not offering adult education classes).

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.

You can sign up to receive the Newsletter here.

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)
26 Long Beach Adult Education
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.

Your CDE consultant will be able to share those results with you, as this survey is collected by us, for CDE.

You will need to click to create a new account. To get started, go to the Request Support page on the CAEP website (caladulted.org) and register as a new user. Once logged in, click on the box that says Submit Nomination.

It would fall to the local district to determine what the requirements are. Consultants would evaluate this information in an FPM review to determine if the agency was in compliance with the law.

In order to take any adult school courses funded by CAEP, you must be a resident of California. You can contact adult schools and see if they offer any programs for out of state students. Adult school is for ages 18-99, so you qualify with the age portion. If you would like to explore adult schools, you can use our Find A School directory and find links to their websites. Their contact information should be listed on the websites. You will need to call them directly. They are listed alphabetically.

The only way we can accurately display information for districts is if we get that data sent to us. Provide the County Office of Education's information and it will be added to the website.

When funding first came out there was Maintenance of Effort funds. Districts with existing programs received fund to keep those going. The allocation was initially separated from the MOE funds, although received together. If a consortium received $500,000, $250,000 of that may have been MOE funds (unable to be changed) and the additional $250,000 was additional allocation, to be distributed how the consortium decided.

Each consortium worked amongst themselves to determine distribution of the additional funds. Some hired a third party to come in and look at attendance and programs, and determine an equitable split based on that.

The CAEP Office was not involved in those discussions, so we don't have any examples to provide you with.

The best option would likely be to review the minutes from the 2014-2015 years to see if you can locate the process your consortium used and any other information that may be helpful.

Also, in NOVA, there is a Supporting Documents section. It is directly below the Annual Plan section. In here, you can find documents from pre-NOVA years. Please look at the last 5-6 listed. They will likely be from 2014-15 through 2016-17. Here you will find the MOE amounts per member and hopefully other helpful information.

As far as finding best practices, it would be advised to attend a PLC. Others may be able to provide some input or connect with you after the webinar to provide further information.

The Directors' Corner is also a good spot to pose this question to other leads, allowing them to answer and provide input. If you need assistance locating that, please let us know.

Per the CDE policy guidance, there is no mandate by the State to have students demonstrate levels of learning when awarding a high school diploma. This is not a state requirement.

The Adult Education Program works with all school districts that offer adult education, as well as all community colleges that offer non-credit programs. All services are offered directly from the districts for free or low-cost.

We have a Find A School database for students. You can enter your address, California residents only, and find the school nearest to you. A phone number and website (if they have one) will be listed. You can then call the school to see what programs they have that you may be interested in taking.

Transcripts are maintained by the district the student attended or the school site themselves. In this case, we recommend contacting the school site directly to request the transcript. If the school sie is unable to locate the record, you may also want to follow up with the main district office, as they may be able to assist further.

CAEP have a school finder that can help find nearby adult schools. Simply add in your zip code or city name. If there is not a website listed, grab the school's name and drop it into a search engine. There you can contact each school and get information on enrollment in your desired program.

The Chancellor's Office handles name changes in NOVA and Datavista. Please contact the Chancellor's Office at XX to request a name change in NOVA and Datavista. The name change will need to be voted on by the consortium and documented in the consoritum's minutes.

There are no requirements for when to get a new member approved, but of course you will want to get it done before the next deadline that requires their approval.

The member's district will want to get this item added to their next board meeting agenda with a "backup" member to be authorized on their behalf.

The next due date for members with CAEP is March 1st, for their Q2 expenses. The TOPSPro student data is due in TE January 31st (they may have someone prepared to enter data for that deadline.)

Do your bylaws say anything regarding a timeline for when they have to appoint a backup? If not, you may want to add something there regarding this scenario. Keep in mind it can take a district 2 months to have a board approved voting member.
