The 16-17 preliminary allocation schedules were posted in February 2016. The Board of Governors is scheduled to approve the $500M AEBG funding at their July board meeting. Once the State has Board approval, the final 16-17 apportionment schedules will be processed and posted on the website for 16-17. We anticipate the apportionment schedules to be posted in August.
If your accounting office is in need of an "Intent to Award letter" and/or a "Preliminary Schedule," please visit the following links:
3. Chancellor's Office apportionment schedule posted on their Fiscal Division webpage (will be posted this summer)
Please remind your accounting offices that the AEBG funding is apportionment - not a grant and in turn, there will be no
face sheets, no terms, no conditions, and no signatures required for AEBG apportionment funds.

Practices with Promise Spotlight
State Center Adult Education Consortium
|
The State Center Adult Education Consortium includes Caruthers Unified School District, Central Unified School District, Clovis Unified School District, Dinuba Unified School District, Fowler USD, Fresno Unified School District, Golden Valley USD, Kerman USD, Kings Canyon Unified School District, Kingsburg Joint UHSD, Madera Unified School District, Sanger Unified School District, Selma Unified School District, Sierra Joint UHSD, State Center Community College District, Washington Union High School District, and Yosemite Unified School District.
THE CHALLENGE
ESL students face many challenges both with improving their general English skills and completing their college education. Many ESL students begin at the Adult School level, but fail to move on either because they lack knowledge about the next steps and/or they are intimidated by the idea of attending college. This collaboration between Fresno Adult School(FAS) and Fresno City College (FCC) was developed to help students learn how to navigate the college system and to make them feel comfortable and confident about the idea of becoming a college student.
THE SOLUTION
Faculty, administrators and counselors from FAS and FCC met many times and developed a new collaboration to address this problem. Two FCC low level classes were offered for the first time on the FAS campus. This involved a tremendous amount of work on everyone's part as promotion and recruitment had to be done to fill these classes. In addition, the class format had to be modified to accommodate the schedules of adult school students. The FCC instructors worked closely with FAS school teacher to develop topics and select materials. The FCC counselor held many orientations informing students about all aspects of college matriculation and financial aid. We are now into the third cohort of students and we have further streamlined the classes.
