[AAACE-NLA] News from the States

[David Rosen]

AAACE-NLA Colleagues,

So far the state adult literacy education funding news (from only 5  
states) is all good. Congratulations to Connecticut, New Hampshire,  
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Tennessee!  But surely not all the  
state news is good.  Let's hear from everyone, so we can get a  
realistic picture of what's happening on the state level in funding  
adult literacy education. Let's hear from your state!

The question is simple:

1. For the FY that begins in 07 and ends in 08 in your state, in
comparison with the previous year, did your state funding (not
federal funding) increase, decrease or stay the same.
2. If it increased or decreased, by how much?
3. And how much is your state (not federal) funding for 07-08?


INCREASES

Connecticut: one million dollars, nearly a 5% increase, for next  
year's budget bringing the state total to
$20,596,400 and an additional million for the following fiscal year

New Hampshire: 60% increase in state funding in the biennial budget  
recently signed by the Governor
for FY08,09. The increase brings the federal/state funding ratio to  
approximately 40% federal and 60% state.

Pennsylvania:  $4.9 million, 26% increase over 06-07

Rhode Island: $2 million, 41% increase over  06-07

Tennessee: $2.5 million increase over 06-07
