AAACE-NLA Colleagues,

The California Superintendent of Public Instruction refused Friday to  
offer alternatives for California students who fail the state's high  
school exit exam, but  also said he would "encourage the Legislature  
to increase funding for adult education, summer school and  
independent study programs for students who fail it."

New York's and California's top education officials are now calling  
for increases for adult education for next year.  Maryland is seeking  
large increases, as is the District of Columbia.  Massachusetts is  
seeking a funding  increase for the second year of a five-year  
proposed increase. Are there any other states where increases look  
promising?

How about states like Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, and others  
where the funding level has ranged from zero to under $500,000?  Any  
progress to report?
