SCR 116

1)Adult schools that are provided by K-12 school districts offer
quality programs to meet the ever-changing economic and
workforce development and lifelong learning needs of our
diverse state.
2)Adult schools, which work in collaboration with community
centers and libraries, are a primary community resource for
the teaching and instruction of adult literacy. They provide
a way for adults to complete secondary education studies and
obtain a high school diploma at their own pace and transition
to postsecondary education and career training.
3)These schools also provide critical opportunities to bring
recent dropouts back to school.
4)To break the cycle of illiteracy and to support educational
equity for all our children, we must focus on educating
parents and adult schools provide programs in family literacy
at elementary schools in conjunction with community-based
organizations.
5)Adult schools provide short-term career and technical training
for adults seeking changes or enhancements in their career
pathways and offer varied market-based education programs to
enhance lifelong learning opportunities in the state.
