Adult Education

Adult education and entry level vocational training as currently governed by the State Department of Education and implemented through the local k-12 districts has a history of offering what the community needs and wants.  The responsiveness to this need has created a support that generates hundreds of thousands of enrollments and employer and student satisfaction each year. This is accomplished with little investment in public relations and at a cost lower than that of comparable community college classes. To change the governance to another system would only complicate an already successful delivery system.  A critical concern of the legislature should be the establishment of an effective, enforceable delineation of function agreement that would eliminate the unnecessary duplication of program efforts which translates into a more effective use of state revenues.
