Policy Reminders:

Note 1: This recommendation in no way infringes on K-12 adult school or community college community services that is governed by existing state regulations and education code.

Note 2: The State will encourage the blending and leveraging of other fund sources with AEBG – such as on the K-12 side (LCFF apportionment), and on the college side (Community College apportionment) in addition to the many other adult education member & partner resources (like WIOA Title I Individual Training Accounts (ITAs)). With the exception of K-12 adult school CTE (workforce entry/reentry and pre-apprenticeship) course offerings, no other AEBG program areas may charge fees, or leverage/braid fees.
