Increasing Transparency of County Office of Education Spending 
Many COEs meet with school districts or have public meetings to communicate to local partners the support activities that are offered. These meetings are also forums for COEs to obtain feedback on school district needs. Several COEs put together annual reports or strategic plans to enhance this communication and transparency locally. 
Little Transparency for How LCFF Operations Grant and Hold Harmless Funds Are Spent. Most state categorical and federal funds that COEs receive have specific spending restrictions and reporting requirements. For example, COEs that operate a State Preschool program must report enrollment and expenditure information to CDE and spend the associated funds on the State Preschool program. Conversely, the operations grant and hold harmless components of the LCFF have no reporting requirements and are unrestricted, which means the state knows very little about how these funds are spent. Although COEs provide unaudited expenditure data annually, this information cannot answer important questions, such as the level of funding and activities provided for district support, or the degree to which COEs use these funds to provide services to students across the county. The annual expenditures also do not distinguish the operations grant and hold harmless funding from the alternative education grant. Moreover, unlike school district LCFF and the alternative education grant included in the COE LCFF, there are no broad requirements to submit a plan or describe how the operations grant and hold harmless funding is being spent, nor do COEs have to report on any outcomes associated with these funds. The lack of information makes it difficult for the Legislature to assess whether the amount of funding provided to COEs is aligned with state requirements and expectations. 
Recommendations
In this section, we describe our recommendations for improving transparency of COEs’ spending. Specifically, these recommendations are intended to provide greater clarity around each COE’s major activities and services, better monitor spending and outcomes through the LCAP, and increase transparency regarding how LCFF operations grant and hold harmless funding is spent. 
Require an Annual Report That Describes Major COE Activities. We recommend requiring COEs to publish a report annually at the start of each school year that includes a narrative of the major activities and services COEs conduct. This would allow state and local partners to understand at a high level the key work COEs do to support districts and students, and provide an opportunity for COEs to describe the specific role they play in their region.
Bill Text - AB-132 Postsecondary education trailer bill.
(a) For purposes of Section 63 of this act, the Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(1) The state’s attorney workforce does not accurately represent the diversity of the state, which can significantly impact administration of justice, access to appropriate representation, and workplace satisfaction.(2) According to the statistics published by the State Bar of California, despite significant growth in the proportion of attorneys who are women
	and people of color over the past 30 years, California’s attorney population does not reflect the state’s diversity, with Latinos being particularly underrepresented.(3) Additionally, according to the State Bar of California’s “First Annual Report Card on the Diversity of California’s Legal Profession,” White attorneys account for nearly 70 percent of California’s active licensed attorney population, while people of color constitute 60 percent of the state’s population.(4) These same statistics are reflected in the judicial branch. While there has been increased focus on diversity within the ranks of justices and judges, White judges account for nearly 66 percent of justices in the trial courts, courts of appeal, and the California Supreme Court.(5) A statewide initiative was established in 2011 through the
	California Partnership Academies focused on high school law academies, with a specific mission of building a diverse educational pipeline from high school to law school. Brought together through a unique partnership between the State Department of Education and the State Bar of California, this pipeline has expanded to include higher education partners with the creation of the Community College Pathway to Law School initiative. In 2015, California LAW (Leadership, Access, Workforce) Pathways was formed to merge both statewide.(6) Since its inception, California LAW Pathways has grown to include agreements with 21 high school law academies, 30 community colleges, 10 undergraduate four-year universities, and 10 law schools.(7) California LAW Pathways is designed to fit seamlessly into the existing educational system.(8) California LAW Pathways uses the framework of the highly effective California Partnership Academies for underrepresented students, and is designed to align with the “Vision for Success” of the office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges.(9) There are currently more than 700 community college students and 3,000 high school pupils enrolled in the program statewide.

Have a compensable service-connected disability (a disability linked to your military service for which you’re receiving VA disability payments), or
Are a former prisoner of war (POW), or
Were awarded a Purple Heart, or
Receive benefits under Title 38 United States Code (U.S.C.) 1151, or
Receive an increased pension based on your being permanently housebound and in need of regular aid and attendance

Or, you must have at least one of these issues:

Vision problems caused by an illness—or the treatment of an illness—for which you’re receiving VA care, like:
	
Stroke
Diabetes
Multiple sclerosis
Vascular disease (diseases that affect your blood vessels)
Geriatric chronic illnesses (long-lasting illnesses that affect the elderly)

Vision problems caused by an injury—or the treatment of an injury—for which you’re receiving VA care, like:
	
A reaction to prescribed medicines
Cataract surgery or other surgeries of the eye, ear, or brain
Traumatic brain injury or polytrauma (injuries to more than 1 body part or organ, often caused by a blast)

Functional impairment (parts of your body that don’t work as well as they should) or cognitive impairment (a problem with memory or thinking skills) that’s severe enough to make it hard for you to do everyday tasks
Vision and/or hearing loss (called dual sensory impairment) that’s severe enough to interfere with your ability to take an active role in your own health care—and eyeglasses would help to reduce the impact of your impairment

For more information, contact the prosthetic representative at your nearest VA medical center or clinic.

Boundary Layer Ingestion Propulsion | Glenn Research Center | NASA
Designed by United Technologies Research Center with research assistance provided research conducted by Virginia Polytechnic and State University, and with funding from NASA, the rugged boundary layer ingesting (BLI) inlet-fan combination is the first of its kind ever to be tested.

This animation shows an engine inlet and fan ingesting boundary layer air in a wind tunnel.

Analytical studies have shown that boundary layer ingesting propulsors have the potential to improve aircraft fuel efficiency. The highly experimental tests required years of preparation. Many industry, NASA and academic experts contributed to the design and analysis of the propulsor. NASA Glenn engineers also modified the wind tunnel to accept the larger model and air turbine fan drive system, an active boundary layer control system, and a complex array of unique instrumentation to measure the characteristics of the air coming into the model and the aerodynamic performance of the fan and inlet.

Throughout testing, the BLI research team will change the wind speed and varies the boundary layer thickness and fan operation to see how these changes affect the propulsor’s performance, operability and structure. Results of the tests will be applicable to multiple cutting-edge aircraft designs being pursued by NASA and well as by its academic and private industry partners.
NASA plans to continue BLI propulsion technology research and development in the future. New fan designs will be tested in NASA Glenn facilities and reusing a portion of the test hardware shown in the photo above. The results from these tests will be applicable to cutting-edge aircraft designs being investigated by NASA and its academic and private industry partners.

Increasing Transparency of County Office of Education Spending 
Chapter 32 established a requirement for county superintendents to prepare a summary of how the COE plans to assist all school districts within the county. The plan describes actions the COE will take in approving all LCAPs. The plan also describes actions the COE will take to provide assistance to school districts identified for differentiated assistance and how it will support other districts in moving further ahead in their LCAP goals. COEs are also to report goals and an expenditure plan for providing this assistance. By November 1 of each year, CDE is to compile COE descriptions of the support they are providing and post them in a single document on the CDE website. 
COEs Have Reporting Requirements for Specific Categorical Programs. Many COEs participate in categorical programs that provide funds for specific purposes. These programs each have specific reporting requirements. For example, if a COE operates a State Preschool program it must submit annual information on spending and program enrollment. 
 2023‑24 Budget Package Requires State Actions Related to Juvenile Court and County Community Schools. Trailer legislation included in the 2023‑24 budget package adds three requirements relating to juvenile court and county community schools. Specifically, the budget package requires:
