CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Title I, Part A, State Leadership $988,176

Carryover resulted from unexpended funds due to the department-wide state operations freeze, the Personal Leave Program, and local assistance contract liquidations. These funds have been reassigned to 2012–13 state leadership projects. Systemically, program staff began the planning process in January in order to fund projects by September 30 of every grant year.

Title I, Part A, State Leadership, State Institutions $267,895

Carryover resulted from unexpended funds released by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). These carryover funds were combined with 2012–13 state leadership funds and reallocated to state leadership priorities of the CDE.

Title I, Part C, Secondary, Adult, and Postsecondary $3,746,893

The California Department of Education (CDE) is solely responsible for allocation of the secondary, adult, and Regional Occupational Centers and Programs, Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 (Perkins IV) grants. The Perkins IV, Title I, Part C carryover funds are generated from three sources: unexpended funds due to the department-wide freeze on state operations, the Personal Leave Program, and local grant allocations released in part or in whole by eligible recipients. All funds have been combined and reallocated to the state's local educational agencies (LEAs) in accordance with formulas established in Perkins IV for fiscal year 2012–13. The CDE continues to increase technical assistance to LEAs in order to reduce the amount of unspent funds. Technical assistance includes written correspondence, workshops, and Web pages that provide information regarding the use of the funds and timelines for expenditures. The CDE continually reviews the funding process to establish consistent, timely, and orderly allocation, application, and fiscal claim processes.

Title I, Part A, State Leadership $1,581,834

The implementation of state leadership projects was delayed. One project was to improve the California Career Cafe Web site. This tool is a virtual career center for community college students. The project included work on the interface, content, and assessment development with partners. The project demanded extensive planning, and the timeline for implementation was extended. Funds that had been set aside for the project were not expended. This project is now on schedule. Another project to develop a data system to collect and analyze employment outcome data was delayed. The planning of this project took more time than anticipated, and funds that had been set aside were not expended. This project is now on schedule. Corrective actions have been established for future activity.

Title I, Part A, State Leadership, State Institutions $85,112

This is a subcontract with the CDCR. Carryover was the result of budgeted amounts and funds necessary to achieve objectives due to reductions in the career technical education programs offered by the CDCR.

Title I, Part A, State Leadership, $15,000

Non-Traditional Training

Carryover was the result of discrepancies between budgeted amounts and funds actually needed to achieve the objectives of the program. Corrective action has been established for the future.

Title I, Part C, Secondary, Adult, and Postsecondary $368,350

Carryover was the result of discrepancies between budgeted amounts and funds necessary to achieve objectives. For fiscal year 2011–12, the federal government unexpectedly augmented the grant in April 2012. The timing was late in the fiscal year, and districts were unable to spend the augmentation fully.

Title I, Part C, Reserve Account $242,957

Carryover was the result of discrepancies between budgeted amounts and funds actually needed by the districts to achieve their objectives. Training took place and corrective action was established for the future.
