The Superintendent or designee shall develop and oversee the district's adult education program.  The Board shall approve all courses to be offered in this program.

The California State Department of Education requires the local governing board to approve the adult education classes to be offered in the district. Such approval must be made at a public meeting in accordance with Education Code Section 35145. The course approval list can be adjusted throughout the year through CDE. Enclosed in this Board packet attachment is a list of adult education courses expected to be offered throughout the 2016-2017 school year. Classes can be added or deleted depending on community response and teacher availability.

Additionally, the Davis Adult and Community Education is a member of the Capital Adult Education Regional Consortium which requires all member districts to approve the annual consortium Memorandum of Understanding that governs how state allocations are distributed and membership responsibilities.  This is a requirement of AB 104 which specifies how adult education funding is distributed throughout the state.  This will be the second year of membership in the Capital Adult Education Consortium.  Consortium boundaries are determined by community college district boundaries.  Davis is in the Los Rios Community College District.

Davis Adult and Community Education operates classes on the quarter system, coordinating with both the DJUSD and UC Davis calendars. Highlights for the 2016-17 school year include:

• Sept 19 – Dec 2, 2016          Fall Quarter Classes in Session

Approve the Memorandum of Understanding between DJUSD and Capital Adult Education Regional Consortium effective July 1, 2016- June 30, 2019.

The Capital Adult Education Regional Consortium (CAERC) is a recently funded program designed to ramp-up programs and classes for adult learners.  New classes are being established in seven authorized areas.  DJUSD Adjult Education is focused on elementary and secondary basic skills and high school diploma equivalency; English as a second language and citizenship; and short-term career technical education with high employment potential.

CAERC has identified four key priorities to address the regional needs and gaps: 1) rebuild adult education programs, 2) align services and pathways, 3) enhance student support services, and 4) establish a data and accountability system.

The Capital Adult Education Regional Consortium (CAERC) is comprised of 14 members – 11 K-12 school districts, 2 county offices of education, the Los Rios Community College District (4 colleges) – and 22 partner agencies. For 2016-17, a total of $11,128,458 was allocated to CAERC member agencies.

As the fiscal agent, Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) will distribute consortium funds in accordance to the CAERC Governance and Fiscal Allocation Plans (approved November 2015), AB 104, and Education Code section 84913. SCOE will be responsible for collecting, compiling, and reporting consortium-level fiscal, program information, and learner performance outcome measures to the Adult Education Block Grant (AEBG) office.

CAERC Members will adhere to the agreements outlined in the CAERC Governance and Fiscal Allocation Plans (approved November 2015). CAERC Members will be responsible for participating in the consortium decision making process and reporting member fiscal, program information, and learner performance outcome measures to the consortium as specified in AB 104 and any associated AEBG Program guidelines.

Sacramento County Office of Education will provide $304,333.17 for Adult Education funding to the District.

Approve Resolution No. 05-17 determining to spend the monies received from the Education Protection Account per the attached reports.

In November 2012, the voters approved Proposition 30, a State tax measure to bolster the revenue sources of the State budget that declined from the economic crisis.  This tax allowed the State to stabilize funding to K-12 education which included maintaining annual base revenue apportionments and reducing funding deferrals (late payments of apportionments, IOU’s). These funds are allocated through a new source named the Education Protection Account.

This is a statutory requirement to receive the apportioned funds that are approximately $10 million for DJUSD and $800 thousand for Da Vinci Charter Academy.

In support of the DJUSD Strategic Plan Strategy 3 and LCAP Goal 6 to foster a positive school climate in order to support student achievement, the district has piloted the implementation of an annual student perception survey, Youth Truth (YT), to supplement the bi-annual California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS). YT was administered in fall 2015.  This report serves to update the Board of Education on progress on survey administration, calibration of the survey and its results, distribution of results and development of responses across school sites and the district. This presentation will include information on Youth Truth survey content, site responses and process timeline.  A presentation specifically focused on survey results will follow at a later date.
