ear Chief Ellis:
It i
s my pleasure to approve your agency’s Annual Training Plan for Fiscal Year 2025-26 . The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) sincerely appreciates your decision to participate in the Standards and Training for Corrections (STC) program. It is important to note that you and 150 other corrections agencies in California have elected to participate in the program for the upcoming year. This collective participation demonstrates a strong commitment to maintaining a professional and well-trained workforce.
Thr
ough your participation, you are eligible to receive funding for your training program. The purpose of this funding is to support your ability to participate in the STC program and meet the selection and training requirements for your corrections personnel. It is not intended to wholly fund your selection and training programs.
The
total amount to be distributed to local agencies is $20,970,000, the same amount as was allocated last fiscal year. However, the amount allocated per position will be increased slightly due to an overall decrease in the number of STC eligible positions reported. The STC funding rate to be distributed is:
• $6
43 for each eligible position that will require annual training ($1 more than last fi
scal year), and
• $965 for each eligible position that will require core training ($2 more than last fiscal year).
Thank
you for the trust that you have placed in the STC program to maintain defensible standards on your behalf. We remain committed to assisting you with selecting the best-qualified personnel and training them to maximum competency. Please do not hesitate to call your assigned Field Representative or me if you have any questions about the program.
S
incerely,
KASEY W

Deputy Director
Standards and Training for Corrections Division
