About the Consortium
Governing Board Meeting Information
AEP (Formerly AEBG) Executive Summary
College of the Canyons (COC) and the William S. Hart Union High School District (Hart District) have established collaborative efforts over 45 years. As the only community college and high school district in the service area, the two school districts have representatives serving on each other’s advisory committees relating to adult education programs and career technical education (CTE) initiatives. The districts work collaboratively on concurrent/dual enrollment initiatives and have a variety of memorandum of understanding agreements in place for programs offered on campuses in both districts. The respective district boards meet annually in a joint meeting to share initiatives and work together on providing a united effort for adult education. The historical relationship of collaboration between the two districts provides a solid foundation for planning and implementation of the new adult education requirements. There is extensive, ongoing, and open communication regarding the providing of services and programs to support student and adult learning in our region. The districts have developed strategies for balancing programs and offerings so there is not a duplication of effort. Our intent is to continue this type of collaboration as we work together on providing comprehensive adult education to the Santa Clarita Valley.
