Dear Adult Educators:

The Adult Education Office (AEO) officially welcomes you back as we kick off the 2025–26 program year. There are several important fiscal and programmatic items to share as we begin the third year of the WIOA grant cycle. Including in this message are the following:

  • 2024–25 End-of-Year Requirements and Final Expenditure Claim Report
  • New Administrator Orientation: Save the Date
  • Reporting Site User Account Updates
  • Welcome Back Video

2024–25 End-of-Year Requirements and Final Expenditure Claim Report

2024–25 end-of-year requirements are available on the WIOA, Title II: AEFLA Grant Information 2024–25 web page. Deliverables not submitted by July 15, 2025, are considered overdue.

Data and documents due by August 1, 2025, include the following:

  1. Final Expenditure Claim Report (ECR)
  2. Official Payment Points Certification Letter

New Administrator Orientation: Save the Date

The 2025 New Administrator Orientation (NAO) will be held September 9–11, 2025. NAO is for staff who have been in a position supporting WIOA adult education programs for two years or less. Registration will be released in early August. New staff onboarding this summer may be interested in accessing the NAO Resources website for a preview of this year’s training.

Reporting Site User Account Updates

Reporting site users with the role of OAR Admin are reminded to update all user account access, contact information, and Agency Contacts. Incoming users, such as new Adult Education Directors and Superintendents, will need access to the reporting site to download grant award information for year two of the grant cycle. Former staff should have their permissions removed. For additional guidance, check out the WIOA User Guide for OAR Admins in the Resources section of the reporting site. The estimated time to complete this important activity is less than 15 minutes.

Welcome Back Video

The latest Welcome Back video, filmed earlier this summer, is now available. Please share the video with all staff supporting your WIOA, Title II: AEFLA program. You can find the video in the Resources section of the reporting site or from this direct link through YouTube: Watch Welcome Back Video.

If you have any questions, please contact the AEO by email at adulteducation@cde.ca.gov or by telephone at 916-322-2175.

Sincerely,
