Summary:
|
Staff request approval to apply for the K-12 Strong Workforce Program (K12SWP) 2022-23 grant to expand and enhance supportive services for students. The K12SWP will assist the district in creating, supporting, and expanding high-quality career technical education programs and work-based learning opportunities at the K-12 level aligned with workforce development efforts and collaborative regional approach to increase the transition to post-secondary and career. Mt. Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD) has been the recipient of this project based grant since 2018.
MDUSD proposes to submit three K-12 SWP grant applications; two individually and one in partnership with the Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE) Consortium. The two MDUSD K12SWP grants include development of a career ladder program and expansion of dual enrollment opportunities during the school day. The Career Ladder Project will develop an accelerated program for students who successfully complete MDUSD's health care pathways in collaboration with Mt. Diablo Adult Education and the Career Technical Education (CTE) programs at Diablo Valley College (DVC) and Los Medanos College (LMC). The Dual Enrollment Program will build on the existing partnership between MDUSD & DVC and support expansion of dual enrollment opportunities. The primary goal is to expand dual enrollment into the school day by hiring a certificated teacher to partner with the community college instructor and to expand dual enrollment into the afterschool program, with an emphasis on career pathway courses.
The third application is with the Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE) Consortium which includes 3 community colleges and 11 school districts, and will target all pathways continuing the work started under the 2018-19 K-12 SWP grant. The consortium is applying for Equitable Access to CTE Pathways with Student Opportunities. The emphasis will be supporting marketing materials, the California College Guidance Initiative (CCGI) Alignment, and expansion of student opportunities. The total amount received and match required will depend on the award amount. The total MDUSD CCCOE Consortium grant application is for approximately $116,750.
The K12SWP grant is a 30-month grant and requires a 2:1 match from district grants and funds. The total MDUSD grant application is for approximately $825,894 ($411,670 for the Career Ladder Project and $414,225 Dual Enrollment Expansion). Matching funds include district general funds and grants supporting Career Technical Education (CTE) teachers, school counselors, work-based learning coordinators and supplies and materials.
