The South Bay Adult Education Consortium/Southwestern is a collaborative of South Bay educational districts (Southwestern College, the Sweetwater Union High School District and the Coronado Unified School District) committed to an ongoing effort to strengthen and enhance adult learner access, persistence and success.
The South Bay Adult Education Consortium/Southwestern members offer well-aligned educational programs that provide the region's adults with equitable access to educational services that will prepare them for citizenship, for completion of a high school equivalent degree, to gain skills for high demand jobs, and to transition to postsecondary institutions and/or the workforce. Adult education includes programs designed specifically for residents with disabilities, in strong collaboration with public and private partners.
CUSD receives approximately $225K in State grants to support Adult Education Programs in subject matter areas aligned with consortium goals. This proposed increase more closely aligns salaries with other members of the consortium.
