III. a. 2. G. Leveraging Resources to Increase Educational Access
Current Narrative:
In addition to the local and regional planning processes and partnerships designed to facilitate the leveraging of resources so as to encourage greater educational access, California has a statutory framework which encourages Local Boards to leverage funds for purposes of providing educational and training services. SB 734 (M. DeSaulnier, Chapter 498, Statutes of 2012) requires Local Boards to spend at least 25 percent of their Adult and Dislocated Worker funds on training services beginning July 1, 2012. This minimum training expenditure requirement increases to 30 percent on July 1, 2016. The purpose of SB 734 is to establish minimum training investment levels for Local Boards in support of the data-driven, sector-based strategic investment activities identified in the State Plan. Under state law, portions of the mandated expenditure level can be offset by funds leveraged from other federal and state funding streams including Pell Grants and state educational programs. This policy encourages the braiding of resources and brings additional funds into the WIOA program.
