1)The week of April 3-9, 2016, inclusive, is observed as "Adult
Education Week," recognizing the unique accomplishments of
California adult schools.
2)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.
3)Adult schools, which work in collaboration with community
centers and libraries, are a primary community resource for
the teaching and instruction of adult literacy.
4)Adult schools provide secondary-education studies and the
ability to obtain a high school diploma; preparation for and
transition to postsecondary education and career training;
critical opportunities to bring recent dropouts back to
school; English as a second language instruction and
citizenship courses and play a key role in immigrant
integration and the path to U.S. citizenship; family literacy
programs at elementary schools in conjunction with
community-based organizations; and short-term career and
technical training for adults seeking changes or enhancements
in their career pathways.
5)In 2015, California adult schools were saved from the brink of
closure by establishing the Adult Education Block Grant
program that is helping to restore access and programming for
adult learners with planning and collaboration on a regional
scale.
This resolution proclaims the week of April 3-9, 2016,
inclusive, as Adult Education Week, and honors the teachers,
administrators, classified staff, and students of adult
education programs statewide for their efforts, persistence, and
accomplishments.
