Advisory Board Proposal Process

At the February 28, 2025 Governing Board meeting, the Governing Board approved changes to the Advisory Board proposal process. The staff report for the February 28, 2025 Cradle-to-Career Data Governing Board meeting provides more details.

Members of the public are encouraged to submit data or community engagement proposals that may be sponsored by Advisory Board members. All public proposal forms are due each year on May 1. To submit a proposal, please email your completed proposal form to info@c2c.ca.gov.

Further updates, including additional resources and information, will be forthcoming.

The 2025 public proposal window closed on May 1, 2025. Advisory Board members may submit their own proposal form, submit a joint proposal form with up to five fellow Advisory Board members, sponsor a proposal form submitted by members of the public, or further refine a proposal form submitted by members of the public or a member from previous years. Please refer to the resources linked below.

The proposal process is a year long process. Every year in the Spring, members of the public will have the opportunity to submit proposals for consideration by Advisory Board members; every year in the Summer, Advisory Board members will have the opportunity to submit proposals; every year in the Fall, Advisory Board members will discuss the proposals Advisory Board members submitted; and every year in the Spring, Advisory Board members will review and discuss the draft report prepared by two Advisory Board members before it is submitted to the Governing Board for consideration. Proposals that have been considered by the Advisory Boards will be housed here to allow the proposals to be easily tracked during the year long process.

Every year in the Summer, Advisory Board members will have the opportunity to submit proposals. Since it is member proposal season, this means that Advisory Board members may submit their own proposal form, sponsor a proposal form submitted by members of the public, or further refine a proposal form submitted by members of the public or a member from last year. All proposals that are received by the Office will be housed in the proposal archive. Proposals will be kept here in perpetuity for the purposes of historical knowledge.

Authorizing legislation established that the data system would have two Advisory Boards to provide input and feedback and to make recommendations to the Governing Board.

The Community Engagement Advisory Board examines whether the Office is creating strong feedback loops with data users, supporting evidence-based decision-making, analytical capacity, and ensuring equitable access to actionable information.
The Data and Tools Advisory Board examines whether the data system is providing actionable information and identifying ways to improve access to that information.

Advisory Board members are charged with making recommendations to the Office about the development and implementation of the data system, and the Cradle-to-Career Governance Manual sets forth the proposal process that is followed by the Advisory Boards.

The proposal process is a year long process. Every year in the Summer, Advisory Board members will have the opportunity to submit proposals; every year in the Fall, Advisory Board members will consider up to three proposals; and every year in the Spring, Advisory Board members will be provided with feasibility study findings and determine if the proposal should advance to the Governing Board for consideration. Proposals that have been considered by the Advisory Boards will be housed here to allow the proposals to be easily tracked during the year long process. Below is information related to the 2023-2024 Advisory Boards process.
