CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Title I, Part A: State Leadership $770,468

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 2013–14 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 $1

Carryover resulted from unexpended funds released by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). These carryover funds were combined with 2013–14 state leadership funds and reallocated to state leadership priorities of the CDE.

Title I, Part C: Secondary, Adult, and Postsecondary $3,493,772

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 two sources: unexpended funds due to furloughs caused by state budget constraints 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 2013–14. 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 $906,095

The implementation of state leadership projects was delayed. A major project involved developing a data and outcome accountability system and training state and field staff on the implementation. The project was complex and involved the integration of data elements, including employment outcome data, from multiple systems and took longer than expected to develop. The development of this project took more time than anticipated, and funds that had been set aside were not expended. This project is now on schedule, and the staff training continues. Corrective actions have been established for future activities.

Title I, Part A: State Leadership, State Institutions $85,111

The subcontract utilizing these funds was with the CDCR. Carryover was the result of discrepancies between budgeted amounts and funds actually needed to achieve objectives due to reductions in the career and technical education programs offered by CDCR. The CDCR has redesigned its education program to meet the challenges of Realignment and corrective action was established for the future.

Title I, Part A: State Leadership, Non-Traditional Training $0

Expenditures for non-traditional training funds equaled the total granted; therefore, there is no carryover.

Title I, Part C: Secondary, Adult, and Postsecondary $280,605

Carryover was the result of unexpected state operations funds as well as discrepancies between budgeted amounts and funds actually needed to achieve objectives.

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.
