Subject:
Additional Funding for the Career Technical Education Community
Collaborative Projects
Congratulations on the recent award of a Career Technical Education (CTE) Community
Collaborative Project (RFA Specification 07-0170).
Please note that the grant amount has been increased from $350,000 to $369,700.
Specific information on the proposed awards is located at:
http://www.cccco.edu/SystemOffice/Divisions/EconDevWorkPrep/CTEPathwaysInitiativ
e/tabid/418/Default.aspx
This memo is to detail the nature of this additional funding and provide direction on its
use. The following four topics will be addressed:
1. An overview of the additional funding.
2. Programmatic details of the additional funding.
3. Fiscal details of the additional funding.
4. Face Sheet revisions.
Overview of the Additional Funding
For the sake of simplicity, and to meet statewide priorities, the California Community
College System Office, in collaboration with the California Department of Education, will
provide a standard addendum to the RFA applications submitted. The addendum will
consist of a standard workplan and budget covering the additional funding, as detailed
below and in the attachments.
Please be aware that:
 Although recipients must address specified expanded elements of the workplan
in the performance of the grant, there is NO MANDATE that the entire amount of
the additional funding be spent on these expanded elements. Recipients are
free to supplement other areas of their funded applications.
 Although a standard budget for the additional funding is included for your
convenience, “Article II, Standard Legal Terms and Conditions” of your grant
agreement permits recipients to modify the aggregate budget of the project. The
California Community Colleges System Office is prepared to approve, upon
request, any budget changes that may be required.
Pursuant to the requirement of “Article II, Standard Legal Terms and Conditions, item 1.
Work to be Performed,” this letter confirms that the project is to expand the workplan to
include the activities shown on the attached workplan and the attached budget. These
documents relieve the project of the need to submit a revised workplan or budget.
However, all applications are going through a technical review and projects may be
contacted for clarifications and/or modifications.
Programmatic Details of the Additional Funding
The workplan addendum stipulates and further elaborates on two activities, although
there is the possibility of some overlap with activities already stated in the approved
application:
1. The operation of a shared management or steering committee for the Community
Collaborative.
2. Participation in a statewide meeting of all CTE Community Collaboratives and
related Governor’s CTE Initiative grantees.
As stated previously in both the instructions for the “Letter of Intent” and the subsequent
Request for Application, CTE Community Collaborative Project sub-regional areas are
directed to utilize a shared management or steering committee that is representative of
its members to provide planning, coordination, and broad advisory oversight. The
activities in the workplan addendum underscores this requirement and expands it to
include a level of communication and collaboration as appropriate with other CTE
Community Collaboratives; either contiguous with the collaborative in the same region
or sharing similar implementation goals or strategies.
Furthermore, the California Community College System Office and the California
Department of Education have received multiple requests for the opportunity to meet
and confer with other CTE Community Collaborative Projects statewide. The workplan
addendum now includes that requirement, contingent upon the subsequent
announcement of such a meeting.
Fiscal Details of the Additional Funding
A budget addendum is also provided as an attachment to this memo. Although it
asserts a particular expenditure pattern, CTE Community Collaborative Project
Directors are reminded of the flexibility already provided in the Standard Legal Terms
and Conditions of the grant. For your convenience, that excerpt is provided as an
attachment, and further directions are provided in this memo.
In the near future, projects will be directed to consolidate their original budgets and the
augmented budgets in the project budget array of the online reporting system
(http://misweb.cccco.edu). Although projects are provided great flexibility, the California
Community College System Office and the California Department of Education will
closely monitor any additions to travel or equipment beyond the sum of amounts
requested in the original and augmented budget. Both agencies are well aware of the
speed with which applications were constructed during the winter of 2007-08, and we
anticipate that projects may well need to modify budgets now as implementation draws
near.
Face Sheet
The face sheet must be revised to reflect the additional funding; therefore, please
complete and sign the appropriate attached face sheet(s) and return three signed
copies. Please see the attached CTE Community Collaborative chart that provides the
grant amount information for the face sheet. For the grantees that have been awarded
a Supplemental grant, please note that the new core grant amount was consolidated
with the Supplemental grant amount. The grantees that have been awarded Workforce
Innovation Partnerships (WIP) grants will need to complete a separate face sheet for
the WIP grant.
Should you have any questions, please contact Jackie Escajeda at
jescajeda@cccco.edu or Laura Casillas at lcasillas@cccco.edu.
Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.

Budget Changes

Grantee may make changes to any budget category amounts without the
approval of the Project Monitor so long as budget categories are not added or
deleted, the total dollar amount of the Grant is not affected, and the outcomes
of the Grant will not be materially affected.

Grantee may add or delete budget categories subject to the prior approval of
the Project Monitor.

Grant amendments are required for budget changes when there are changes
in the total dollar amount of the Grant and/or the outcome of the Grant is
materially affected. The request for such changes should include a letter of
justification; three copies of a revised "Application Budget Summary," all of
which have been signed by the Chief Business Officer or his/her designee, in
an ink color other than black, and a revised "Application Budget Detail Sheet."

The Budget Amendment request should be mailed to the Program Unit for
approval by the Project Monitor. Grantee will be notified if the request is
approved or if additional information is required. In any event, the Grantee
shall implement changes only upon written notification by the Project Monitor.
Additionally, the next Progress Report must show the new budget changes.
Budget changes or amendments involving an extension of time are subject to applicable
program limitations. Any budget change or amendment permitting funds to be spent
beyond the year of appropriation shall ensure that Grantee does not receive funding for
the same expense from more than one fiscal year.
