CAEP COVID-19 Google Group

The CAEP Office and CAEP TAP has launched the CAEP COVID-19 Google Group! The Google Group provides a platform where practitioners, across the State, can engage in open, ongoing dialogue about the impact of COVID-19. To ignite the conversation, a poll has been launched to capture the topics of importance for discussion.

Join the conversation based on topics of importance!

Coming Soon! Education Stabilization Fund – Reimagining Workforce Preparation Grants
The US Department of Education has announced that states under the CARES Act will be able to apply for the Education Stabilization Fund - Reimagining Workforce Preparation Grants. These grants are designed to expand short-term postsecondary programs and work-based learning programs in order to get Americans back to work and help small businesses. The full NIA will be issued later this week. For more information, visit the Education Stabilization Fund Discretionary Grants web page.

COVID-19 Pandemic Food Benefits for Individuals and Families
Due to Coronavirus (COVID-19), children who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals at school will get extra food benefits with Pandemic EBT or P-EBT. For more information on eligibility, check out the Pandemic EBT web page.

Additionally, access the April 22 CalFresh Response to COVID-19 newsletter for updated information related to food benefits for individuals and families.

Hanover Research - Best Practices in Virtual Admissions
The Hanover Research on Best Practices in Virtual Admissions provides recommendations and common approaches for transforming common practices to a virtual space, best practices for virtual admissions events, how to assess online admissions quality, and institutional profiles. Review this report for ideas that can be adopted at your adult education agency.

CAEP Fiscal Management Reminder
Circle with word Deliverables appearing in three places
The CAEP Office would like to remind all consortia to ensure all fiscal items (CFADs, expenditure reports, etc.) are up-to-date in NOVA. Although we will not know until mid-May, the May Revise could result in a revised CFAD. Please make sure your membership is aware and available for a potential drill to meet and discuss a revised CFAD and CAEP allocations for 2020-21, if necessary.

This Week's CAEP Office Hour
The CAEP Office Hour will continue this week! Join the CAEP Office, CAEP TAP and other invited guests to collaborate and support one another through community of practice. Bring pressing questions and discussion topics to this open platform by registering today.
