[AAACE-NLA] Bush budget to cut adult education?

[Bickerton, Robert P]

 We're working to stay on top of these issues and will share any concrete
info we can obtain on Monday -- and thereafter.  I hope that all of our
colleagues are ready to roll up their sleeves for some serious advocacy --
if the rumors are true, we will have our work cut out for us -- our students
deserve nothing less and actually, a whole bunch more.

take care,
bob bickerton, MA director of adult ed & NCSDAE chair

I hope this is not true, but I have heard that the
Bush budget proposal that will be released tomorrow
will propose to cut funding for the adult education
program approximately in half.  Even Start, as before,
would be eliminated. 

According to people at the Labor Department, the
budget will include a new proposal that would let
governors obtain a "waiver" to use their adult
education and vocational rehabilitation money for job
training.  In other words, a new block grant proposal.

I don't know when the Bush budget comes out on Monday.
 Here are some sites to look at throughout the day:
