Consortium Carryover and the Written Expenditure Plan

Consortium carryover is one or more prior fiscal years exceeding 20% and is assessed and acted upon annually. Consortium carryover includes the carryover of all its members. State leadership identified consortia with 20% or more carryover as of September 30, 2024, with the Quarter 4 Expenditure report submission.


Consortia with 20% or more carryover must submit a written expenditure plan to the State showing how the consortium will work to reduce their carryover below the 20% threshold.


The Written Expediture Plan in now live in NOVA. Consortia who have exceeded 20% carryover will have 45 days (Oct 1-Nov 14) to complete the plan at the consortium level. Consortia will be submitting one jointly developed written expenditure plan. Members will review and approve the written expenditure plan once it has been submitted by the consortium lead. More information will be released in the coming weeks from CAEP Leadership.

This year's Summit will host more than 85 presentations and networking events. Don't miss the learner transition-focused session Building Multiple On-Ramps for Adult School Students. We're Not Just Taking Referrals Anymore, We're Living on our Adult School Campuses offered by Eric Morin, Fresno City College (FCC) Counselor. Over the past several years, FCC has been making progress in developing and strengthening partnerships with local adult schools. This session will discuss the various opportunities that are being created for adult school students that can help them get a jump start on their college education. In 2023-24, FCC saw its partnership with Fresno Adult School see the highest number of students served among the past several years. FCC has become proactive about finding opportunities to help the students of Fresno Adult School and other local adult schools to get a jump on their college career. What started out as a partnership consisting of having a college outreach staff member visit the campus once a week and then slowly beginning to offer ESL/EMLS classes has turned into a partnership that now boasts us offering classes that count for students’ LVN program pre-requisites and Fresno City College’s Allied Health Degree requirements and Fresno City College counselors being on campus multiple times a week. These students are receiving assistance from a counselor in getting questions answered, application assistance, enrollment assistance, and follow-up counseling to help students plan for life after the adult school.
