The fact that K-12 adult ed hasn't regained categorical status within LCFF explains Maestro Juan's comment. The categorical status we've been promised, if it arrives through the consortia, will indeed mark a shift in responsibility. Last year, adult ed insiders explained the "two year rollout" in the shift to community college, as well as the "contracting back to school districts" which is viewed as the "seamless transition". The political poker game is in full swing now. Everything hinges on whether the categorical status is under LCFF or through the regional consortia. http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/restore-protected-funding<br />A4CAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08586988711225581602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832205589360987196.post-23250160816082029492014-01-12T09:25:25.405-08:002014-01-12T09:25:25.405-08:00MaestroJuan- some of this has a danger of self-def...MaestroJuan- some of this has a danger of self-defining prophecy, that is the "shift in responsibility" is left over from January, 2013 when the Governor was clear that he meant "shift" adult ed away from K-12 to the CCC. Some in the CC and the public don't understand that things are very different now. AB86 presumes that there are two delivery systems who've planned to work together in new ways that serve lower skilled and immigrant adults better. The regional plans that will be presented for funding will assume two systems, as did the Legislative Analyst Office. "Single" funding stream has not been defined, and exactly as Cynthia observes,for many months discussion/advocacy/conflict/resolution and good imaginations will address what "dedicated categorical funding for adult ed" (which is what we now have been promised) will look like. The thing that I take away from this week's budget proposal is the astonishing use of "categorical", which was a concept supposedly gone forever under Local Control Funding Formula.harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15094676660514962306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832205589360987196.post-38779894996915060772014-01-12T09:25:05.030-08:002014-01-12T09:25:05.030-08:00MaestroJuan- some of this has a danger of self-def...MaestroJuan- some of this has a danger of self-defining prophecy, that is the "shift in responsibility" is left over from January, 2013 when the Governor was clear that he meant "shift" adult ed away from K-12 to the CCC.
