LAO Formula: “checking under the hood”

• Neil Kelly, Adult Education Office, California Department of Education

• The 2022 LAO Report, Redesigning California's Adult Education Funding Model, provides insights and recommendations into CAEP funding. This session will provide participants with potential funding scenarios and impacts based on the suggestions of the report. The intent of this session is NOT to provide further recommendation or endorsement of any funding suggestions, rather to raise awareness in the field about possible funding models, potential changes, and to develop understanding of contributing variables and data elements of CAEP funding. This session will be valuable to the field as conversations about CAEP funding changes, if any, are best for California. Participants will engage in surveys which will provide data to state leadership.
