...urgency for the state to determine what the MOE is to prepare and determine the funding formula.
We don’t want there to be a gap between planning funding and implementation funding.
So we’ve done a couple of things.
We’ve extended the planning funding.  You have until December 31st to send your planning funds.
And the other is we had a conversation today, a dialogue between, a conversation with the Department of Education and the Chancellor's Office and the Cabinet.  
They wanted me to pass along the message that they have heard the urgency. They have received your letters you’ve turned in to the AB86 inbox.  They are committed also to solving and resolving the MOE and funding formula issues sooner rather than later.
So be assured that that is recognized.
Also, I want to encourage that if you have thoughts or you’re wanting to get information to the Cabinet, the Department of Education or the Chancellors’ Office, regarding Adult Ed, please use the AB86 inbox.
Your letters are forwarded, they’re discussed.

Tuesday, March 24th at 9 am in Room 444 in the State Capitol building, Assembly Budget Sub Committee 2 (Education Finance) will meet to look at the money aspect of Adult Education.

Needless to say, that's important.

Committee Members are:

Assembly Member Kevin McCarty, Chair

AM  Rocky Chavez - Rep     
     AM Chavez was at the Jan 29th, 2014 Oversight Hearing on Adult Ed and spoke about the need not to ask schools to do too much all at once as we move through these many reforms in Public Ed.

AM  Young O. Kim - Rep    
     AM Kim represents an area that includes the North Orange County Regional Consortia
      
AM  Patrick O' Donnell - Dem
     AM O' Donnell taught school for 20 years. "A firm believer in ensuring access to career technical education and vocational opportunities, he helped establish an afterschool digital academy to teach kids valuable media skills they can use in school and the workplace."  - Bio

AM  Phillip Ting - Dem
    "He was also a leader in the successful effort to revolutionize how K-12 schools are funded.  Starting in the fall of 2014, the state will direct more education funding to students confronting social inequities, like poverty or limited English language skills, through what is called the Local Control Funding Formula. " - Bio

AM  Shirley Weber, Alternate - Dem.
     At an August 2014 hearing on SB173, AM Weber's call for more information and a better understanding of the big picture of Adult Education led, in my opinion, to the January 29th, 2014 Oversight Hearing on Adult Education.

AM  Melissa Melendez, Alternate - Rep

Agenda  

(Reminder:  There are 2 players in the Regional Consortia game - the CDE, the Department of Education and the CCC, the California Community College system.

Department of Education
California Community Colleges
Issue 1  Adult Education
Issue 2  Education Mandates
Department of Education
Issue 3 CTE Incentive Grant
California Community Colleges
Issue 4 CTE Pathways Initiative
Issue 5 Apprenticeship

Because March 24th is also CCAE Leg Day, the hearing room may be packed with folks who care deeply about Adult Education, knowing just how much good it does and how much it is needed.

Get there early.

And get your red on because it's a Tuesday!

General Subject: Adult Education Block Grant program.

Existing law, subject to funding in the annual Budget Act, requires the Chancellor
of the California Community Colleges and the State Department of Education to jointly
provide 2-year planning and implementation grants to regional consortia of community
college districts and school districts for purposes of developing regional plans to better
serve the educational needs of adults. Existing law requires the grant funds to be used
by each regional consortium to create and implement a plan to better provide adults in
the region with certain classes and programs, as specified.

This bill would establish the Adult Education Block Grant program, under which
the chancellor and the Superintendent, with the concurrence of the executive director
of the State Board of Education, would be required to divide the state into adult
education regions and to approve in each of those regions an adult education consortium,
to be comprised of at least one community college district and one school district. The
bill would require the consortia to develop and approve annual plans with specified
content. The bill would require each adult education consortium to establish an
allocation board to approve an allocation schedule indicating the amount of funds to
be distributed to each member of the consortium in any year the consortium receives
funds for the program, and would also require each adult education consortium to
designate a fiscal administrator to distribute the funds. The bill would require the State
Controller to apportion funds appropriated for the program in accordance with specified
calculations and requirements. The bill would require the chancellor and the
Superintendent, with the concurrence of the executive director, to report specified
information to the Director of Finance, the State Board of Education, and the Legislature
in any fiscal year for which funds are appropriated for the program.

Vote: majority.  Appropriation: no.  Fiscal committee: yes.  State-mandated local
program: no.

(3) The Employment Development Department and the California Workforce
Investment Board shall provide any assistance needed to align service delivery across

as introduced, ______.

General Subject: Adult Education Block Grant program.

Existing law, subject to funding in the annual Budget Act, requires the Chancellor
of the California Community Colleges and the State Department of Education to jointly
provide 2-year planning and implementation grants to regional consortia of community
college districts and school districts for purposes of developing regional plans to better
serve the educational needs of adults. Existing law requires the grant funds to be used
by each regional consortium to create and implement a plan to better provide adults in
the region with certain classes and programs, as specified.

This bill would establish the Adult Education Block Grant program, under which
the chancellor and the Superintendent, with the concurrence of the executive director
of the State Board of Education, would be required to divide the state into adult
education regions and to approve in each of those regions an adult education consortium,
to be comprised of at least one community college district and one school district. The
bill would require the consortia to develop and approve annual plans with specified
content. The bill would require each adult education consortium to establish an
allocation board to approve an allocation schedule indicating the amount of funds to
be distributed to each member of the consortium in any year the consortium receives
funds for the program, and would also require each adult education consortium to
designate a fiscal administrator to distribute the funds. The bill would require the State
Controller to apportion funds appropriated for the program in accordance with specified
calculations and requirements. The bill would require the chancellor and the
Superintendent, with the concurrence of the executive director, to report specified
information to the Director of Finance, the State Board of Education, and the Legislature
in any fiscal year for which funds are appropriated for the program.

Vote: majority.  Appropriation: no.  Fiscal committee: yes.  State-mandated local
program: no.

The video of Wednesday's Joint Legislative Informational Hearing on Adult Education: Moving Forward is available on The California Channel.   Click here to go right to the video.

This was an informational hearing. In other words, no one voted on anything. It was a sort of check-in on the whole AB86 process.  Folks checked in to report what is happening in the whole mighty, messy, complicated everyone come together under the big tent Regional Consortia Creation Game.  The legislature needs to know what is happening and how things are going and whether or not people are being served or will be served or won't be served because the Legislature will be voting on these matters in future when it votes on a budget. 

I highly recommend that you watch or listen to it as you chop vegetables, fold laundry, flea-comb your cat, or perform some similar task which enables you to listen while you work.

It is a long, meaty hearing full of information about what is happening, what people think, what people know, what people think they know but actually don't, what people want to know, what people need to know, and lots of other stuff all leading us to gaps in understanding that need to be filled.

People, by the way, refers to everyone.  It refers to we, the people.  And it refers to the people that we, the people, elect to represent us at the decision making table.

Best quote from the hearing came from San Mateo Adult School Director Larry Teshara:
"While our colleagues are looking for dessert, we're looking for dinner."

Public comments begin at 2:43 and include:
Commissioner Irma Beserra Núñez (Los Angeles)
George Porter (Berkeley)

First... wait a minute... wasn't this not supposed to happen anymore?

What about the Maintenance of Effort Clause?

Or... if the MOE Clause is ending... what about the Maintenance of Capacity thing?

And what does that mean, anyway?  Does it mean that so long as a Regional Consortia is maintaining capacity, it doesn't matter who provides the Adult Education?

Which means that Adult Schools can be closed again?

We need to know because, indeed, it is happening again.

Acalanes School District Approves Layoffs As It Grapples With Budget Deficit 
San Jose Mercury News, March 6, 2015


Acalanes Adult School
Graduation
"In a bid to slash a projected $5.4 million deficit this year, Acalanes Union High School District leaders have agreed to layoffs that spell the end of a 70-year-old adult education program."



"Governing board members and student board member Sean McFeely voted unanimously Wednesday night to approve the layoffs of eight full-time staff members at the Del Valle Education Center, which houses the Acalanes Adult Education Center. A separate batch of layoffs affecting certificated employees at the district's four high schools also calls for the elimination of the Del Valle Education Center director position, held by Frank Acojido since 2001."

"Open since 1945, the center provides programs for individuals seeking high school diplomas and GED's, English language learners, adults with disabilities and career technical education. About 1,648 students are enrolled this quarter, Acojido said."

Acalanes is part of the Contra Costa Regional Consortia. Information about their program is on pages 27 - 21 of their Consortium Plan.

Acalanes has a CTE program that served 322 students last year, and served 610 students before the cuts began in 2008.  Classes for immigrants currently serve 563 students but served 788 before the cuts.  Adults With Disabilities program now serves only 13 students but served 275 before the cuts.

Governor Brown's Proposed Budget  Adult Ed is mentioned in the K-12, Higher Ed, and Investing in California's Workforce sections.

Many in and out of LA say, "So goes LA, so goes everywhere."

Is that true? 

I'd say, "Yes, no, and sometimes."

I'd also say, "It's always good to KNOW what is happening in Los Angeles."

It's a big city with a huge Adult School, a huge immigrant population, a huge need for Adult Education, and a long, complicated, and painful history where all those things are concerned.

So here's the latest about what's happening in regards to Adult Education in Los Angeles:

CCAE Leg Day Talking Points  (Leg Day is Tues, March 24th)


In the coming weeks leading up to Leg Day at the Capitol, we urge you to familiarize yourself with the following key talking points related to the Governor's FY 15-16 Budget proposal. This time is a great time to ensure all members are properly educated as we move through the legislative budget process and ultimately to a vote of the full Legislature in June. As we've discussed previously, there are over 35 new members to quickly educate and catch up to speed on our issues and budget priorities.

Key Issues
  • A Dedicated, Stable Funding Structure for K-12 Adult Schools
  • upport for a Transition Year - Maintain Current K-12 Capacity
  • Utilizing Existing State Fiscal Infrastructures to Apportion Funding
  • AB 86 Plans Inform & Drive Funding
The focus of your meetings should be as follows:  
  1. Educate them on who you are (K12 Adult School) and how you contribute to their district and constituents
  2. Provide brief history on funding for K12 adult education:
  3. Share your current status, AB 86 Consortium engagement & your AB 86 regional plan, explaining it from the K12 perspective - sharing positives as well as challenges
  4. Make "the Ask"
"The Ask"

Support the Governor's Plan in Maintaining & Stabilizing K-12 Capacity with a Transition Year-Extension of the Maintenance of Effort / Maintenance of Capacity
  • Maintenance of Capacity Funding for K-12 Out of FY 15-16 Allocation
    • Roughly $300-350 million of the $500 million Adult Education Block Grant
  • Helps avoid March 15th layoff notices, provides stability and avoids closures of adult schools because it helps provide greater certainty for school districts in planning their budgets for the FY 15-16 school year
  • The calculation of maintenance of effort, however, must reflect the school district's commitment to true capacity and maintain that capacity. The MOE calculation is complicated. The DOF shouldn't "low ball" the number for MOE based upon accounting anomalies - (i.e. a Basic Aid district's apportionment that is reduced by fair share hit, and that difference is backfilled by reserves or district general fund) - districts shouldn't be penalized.
The Governor's Proposal does NOT utilize existing Fiscal Infrastructure to Allocate Funds - Instead, We Propose a Perkins Model Distribution of Funding - CDE Allocation to K-12 Districts through Interagency Agreement w/ CCCO
  • Ensures K12 adult education remains tied and accessible to the community we serve
  • Maintains the autonomy of School Boards of Education
  • Why reinvent the wheel - the structure already exists without adding to the bureaucracy and delays that could compromise a school district's receipt of funds to support maintaining its adult school
  • Doesn't compromise local decision making through the regional consortia
While we support the concept of the Allocation Committee proposed by the Governor in that it ensures involvement of key community stakeholders serving adults, we do not believe the manner in which the Allocation Committee is structured is workable.
  • It calls in to question the autonomy and governance of school boards and community college boards.
  • Further, it suggest potential for encroachment of funding for non-Prop 98 entities when there isn't sufficient funding to cover access through the current Prop 98 providers.
  • As an alternative, we propose that a Regional Control and Accountability Plan (RCAP) be developed within each consortium that provides for criteria that must be addressed in the planning and allocation decision-making process to ensure access is maintained, needs are met, and accountability is addressed. Such a model would include a metric to ensure / require regional stakeholder engagement as part of the planning and allocation process.
Immigration Reform and Adult Schools
K12 Adult Schools have always supported immigrant integration as a core mission.  Adult schools are often the first public institution immigrants interact with, offering flexibility and access, with roots deeply planted in immigrant communities.  As Comprehensive Integration Reform moves forward, adult schools will be instrumental in meeting the immigration requirements (educational and informational) of an estimated 3.1 million eligible Californians for whom federal reforms grant temporary relief from deportation.  Adult schools have always been agile enough to meet the needs of the immigrant community and can move quickly to ramp up programming to meet the need.
