Advisory Board Proposal Process
Advisory Board Proposal Process
The Office of California Cradle-to-Career Data System’s (Office) structure consists of two Advisory Boards which make recommendations to the Governing Board.
The Data and Tools Advisory Board examines whether the data system is providing actionable information.
The Community Engagement Advisory Board examines whether the Office is reaching its intended audiences and helping its users understand how to use the information it provides.
Advisory Board members help inform how the data system is built and used. Advisory Board members share their recommendations through the Advisory Board Proposal Process, set forth in the California Cradle-to-Career Data System (C2C) Governance Manual.
Advisory Board Proposal Timeline
The proposal process runs on a yearly cycle, kicking off each spring and wrapping up the following May. The process is structured around four key phases: Spring, Summer, Fall, Spring, and May. Click below to learn more about each phase.
The public will have an opportunity to submit proposals.
Advisory Board members may:
- Submit their own proposal form
- Submit a joint proposal form with up to five Advisory Board members
- Sponsor a proposal form submitted by members of the public
- Further refine a proposal form submitted by members of the public or a member from previous years
Advisory Board members will discuss all proposals submitted.
Two Advisory Board members and the Governing Board Liaison will draft a report that Advisory Board members will review at the meeting. The report will include:
- Links to all proposals members submitted in fall
- A summary of the discussion from the fall meeting
- The light-touch feasibility study write-ups from the Office
The finalized Advisory Board proposal report will be shared and presented to the Governing Board for consideration.
