trailerMORE CHANGES LIKELY FOR AEBG TRAILER BILL 

We're awaiting the May revision of the governor's budget, which is likely to include additional changes to the AEBG trailer bill. T here are two trailer bills that introduce AEBG program modifications.  One pertains to Section 84913 of the Education Code  and adds members' indirect costs to the list of allowable uses of AEBG funding. 
 
The other pertains to Section 84906 of the Education Code and adds language that requires consortia to have a consortium-approved three-year adult education plan that addresses a three-year fiscal planning cycle, starting with the 2019-20 fiscal year. The plan must be updated once a year, at a minimum, based on available data pertaining to plan requirements found under subdivision (b). The trailer states that, for the upcoming 2018-19 fiscal year, to receive AEBG funding, consortium members must have a consortium-approved adult education plan as outlined in subdivision (c) of the education code.
