Performance Funding

Performance Percentages are multiplied by the program’s core services funding.

KYAE caps the amount of statewide performance funding.

Programs Receiving 10% performance funding will be awarded funds available without the cap.

All other programs eligible for performance funding will be awarded funds (may be capped if over allotted funds).

Performance funding is contingent upon available funding.

Performance Funding

KYAE expects all funded programs to meet enrollment goals and academic performance at the minimum of the Proficient performance category.

During the statewide RFP competition to be held

every four years, past performance of current providers as well as other eligible applicants will be a major factor in determining whether a proposal is approvable.

A current program in Needs Improvement, especially for more than one year, significantly decreases its ability to demonstrate past effectiveness during the statewide RFP competition.

PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTABILITY POLICY

In the years between the statewide RFP competition, KYAE will annually review performance.

Performance of 40 percent or less of the countyenrollment goal or 30 percent or less of academic performance is unacceptable. This level of performance constitutes failure to meet the terms of the adult education contract and may result in the fiscal agent forfeiting adult education grant funding.
