accountability, and fees.

• Eliminating AE services in correctional facilities
is problematic.

K-12 and CC providers to ensure students
transition?

Other Questions for Discussion

to the Governor’s proposal?

decision making body?

Governor’s Budget Proposal (cont.)
• Governance structure
– School Districts
– Community College Districts
– County Offices of Education
• Joint approval of allocation funds
• 2015-16 $ allocated first to K-12 MOE
• 2016-17 $ allocated to consortia
20
Subcommittee Questions
• How far does $500 million go in meeting adult education program
needs? Are there factors the Legislature should consider when
determining the ongoing funding level for this program?
• Are the Department of Finance and the Department of Education
able to determine the amount of adult education funds that were
provided to the five AB 86 adult education areas by school districts
under the MOE for purposes of allocation in 2015-16?
• The Adults in Correctional Facilities categorical program is
proposed to be rolled into the adult education block grant. Funds
for this program were not part of the adult education MOE in place
for the past two years. Do these programs receive the same
funding protections in 2015-16 as other adult education programs
under the Governor’s proposal?
21
Questions (continued)
• What actions can be taken based on the AB 86 Cabinet
report? What actions should be prioritized and what
support or guidance is needed from the state to move
forward on these actions?
• What are the characteristics of the most successful
regional consortia? Can these be replicated across the
state?
• How consistent are the federal data and accountability
requirements under WIOA with the data and
accountability measures that the AB 86 Cabinet
consider necessary for a state adult education system?
