[AAACE-NLA] 06-07 Funding News from 16 States

[Carl Guerriere]

David,
Connecticut was level funded at $19,596,400.  However, an additional $6.5
million was allocated for workforce and basic skills activities for the TANF
population.
The legislature also authorized a comprehensive study of the adult system
that will include programs run by the public schools, community based
organizations and the community college.
