EOPS Directors and CARE Coordinators
FROM:
Cheryl Fong, Interim State Coordinator, EOPS and CARE Programs
SUBJECT: Notification of Fiscal Year 2011-2012 CARE Final Allocations
Synopsis: The fiscal year 2011-2012 State Budget provides the Cooperative Agencies
Resources for Education (CARE) program with $9.332 million from Proposition 98
funds specifically to assist EOPS students, who are welfare-dependent single parents,
with supplemental educational support services that will enhance their academic
success. State funds are allocated to support 113 CARE programs throughout
California, including the El Camino College Compton Community Educational Center.
Additional funds for cost-of-living-adjustments and enrollment growth are not included
in the state appropriation for CARE.
After conferring with the EOPS Regional Coordinators, the CCCEOPS Association
Executive Board, and EOPS/CARE programs throughout the system, the Chancellor’s
Office is temporarily suspending the Board of Governors-approved CARE allocations
funding formula this year. Therefore, each CARE program is awarded the same
allocation that they received in FY 2010-2011. The current year CARE allocations for
each funded program are appended. Subsequent to this official notification of award to
the districts and colleges, the Chancellor’s Office Fiscal Services will post the FY 20112012 CARE Final Allocations in the first principal apportionments report (P1) in
February 2012.
The enclosed September 16, 2009 memorandum from Vice Chancellor for Student
Services and Special Programs Linda Michalowski and then-Vice Chancellor for Fiscal
Policy Erik Skinner addresses administrative relief measures for select categorical
programs, including EOPS. While the memorandum outlines measures that relieve
specific administrative and other reporting requirements for EOPS, there are no
changes pertaining to the reporting requirements for CARE. CARE funds continue to be
restricted specifically for the purposes for which they were intended with no relief of
mandates or flexibility. Consequently, CARE funds must be expended for over-andabove services and activities in strict compliance with Title 5 regulations, sections
56200 through 56298, CARE Program Guidelines, and CARE Auditing Guidelines.
Action Requested / Date of Response: SSARCC (Student Services Automated
Reporting for Community Colleges) is fully operational for the EOPS and CARE
programs this fiscal year. Beginning FY 2011-2012, all CARE programs must therefore
submit their CARE budget reports for approval by the Chancellor’s Office through the
use of the SSARCC web-based application – no exceptions. To utilize SSARCC, EOPS
directors must request their SSARCC user ID and password from the Chancellor’s
Office. Several directors have not yet obtained their user ID and password and should
immediately do so to activate the SSARCC reporting process.
As a supplemental component of EOPS, all CARE program, services, activities, and
staff time assignments must be accurately described in the EOPS Program Plan. The
CARE budget approval request must be submitted via SSARCC by Tuesday,
November 15, 2011. A hard copy of the proposed budget signature page with original
signatures must also be mailed to the Chancellor’s Office.
Additional CARE report forms (CARE Mid-Year Report and CARE Year-End Report)
and submission deadlines are posted on the Chancellor's Office CARE webpage at
http://www.cccco.edu/ChancellorsOffice/Divisions/StudentServicesandSpecialPrograms
/CARE/tabid/589/Default.aspx.
Contact: Questions concerning the CARE final allocations may be addressed to Cheryl
Fong, Interim State Coordinator, EOPS and CARE Programs, at cfong@cccco.edu or
(916) 323-5954. For assistance with the EOPS Program Plan and EOPS/CARE budget
questions related to SSARCC, please contact Kelly Gornik, EOPS/CARE Specialist, at
kgornik@cccco.edu or (916) 323-4281. Requests for user ID and passwords as well as
assistance with the technical operation of SSARCC should be directed to ssarcceops@cccco.edu.
Thank you.
