Independent Study & AEBG

We’ve come a long way

CA Adult Education History Timeline Event/Change Prior to 2009 Attendance (ADA) = Apportionment (Funding) Independent Study accountability regulations applied to Adult Ed ADA (15 hrs per week, I.S. Agreement, work sample, etc.) 2009-15 Budget Flexibility LCFF and MOE AB 86 – Consortium Setup and Planning 2015-16 AB 104 – Adult Education Bock Grant MOE and AEBG Allocation Funding Consortium Plan Implementation Student Data and Outcome Reporting 2016-17 2nd Year Plan Implementation No MOE, Consortium Funding Only + Data and Accountability Funding Student Data and Outcome Reporting & WIOA

Where are we now? No ADA reported = No I.S. accountability requirements AEBG Funding = Apportionment Consortium governance (including all AEBG funds) State level effort to get funding spent WIOA requirements x 2 Local district requirements State Adult Education Ed Codes – Chapter 10

Some Relevant Ed Codes EC 52506 The department shall establish standards including standards of attendance, curriculum, administration, and guidance and counseling service for these classes as a basis for the several apportionments of state funds provided herein for the support of these classes. EC 52515 State funds shall not be apportioned to a school district based on the attendance of students enrolled in adult schools, unless the courses have been approved by the department pursuant to Section 41976.
