Summary: Mt. Diablo Adult Education requests approval to submit an application for funding from California Department of Education/Adult Education Division to participate in a statewide Policy to Performance Pilot (P2P). The P2P initiative was launched by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Vocational and Adult Education and is designed to support Transitioning Adults to Opportunity. California is one of eight states participating in the initiative. The initiative supports the broad goals of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and also aligns with the President’s American Graduation Initiative. The P2P Pilot Project will have two phases: development and implementation within July 1, 2011 – June 20, 2012.

If funded, Mt. Diablo Adult Education will use these funds to provide additional supports to Adult Secondary Education (HS Diploma/GED) students in their endeavor to transition to post-secondary education. Supports will include elements such as Individual Action Plan (as prescribed by CDE), career decision making, mentoring, and other supports.
Funding: California Department of Education
Fiscal Impact $75,000 to Mt. Diablo Adult Education to design and provide transition support services to adult secondary education students.
Recommendation: Approve Mt. Diablo Adult Education to submit an application
to participate as a Policy to Performance pilot project.
