allocationRELEASE OF 2018-19 PRELIMINARY ALLOCATIONS & CFADS

Per AB104 legislation, by the last week of February, the AEBG Office will release the 2018-19 and 2019-2020 preliminary allocations, by consortium.

Soon after, consortia will be able to view the 2018-2019 allocations in NOVA. Consortia will have until May 2, 2018 to submit their Consortium Fiscal Administrative Declaration, or CFAD, into NOVA. We are excited to have the CFAD process in NOVA, which will allow members and consortia to complete and certify allocations online via NOVA.
Webinars and guidance about the steps of the NOVA CFAD process will be rolled out in March. Keep in mind that having the CFAD in NOVA will allow consortia to adjust allocations throughout the year (with the consent of its membership). 

Please begin scheduling your public meetings now in order to submit the 2018-2019 CFAD by May 2.

Oftentimes, English as a second language (ESL) and/or basic skills students become frustrated with career technical education (CTE) programs because it would take so long for them to get through their ESL or basic skills program before they felt they were able to begin a CTE program or they attempted to struggle through the CTE program without the needed language or basic skills needed to be successful in the program, which often led to dropouts and/or failing the course. The goal became to find a way to accelerate students' academic progress while ensuring they gain the requisite language and or other skills needed to successfully earn a CTE certificate and ultimately gain employment in their field of study.
