[NLA] NLA Info: NIFL Board Meeting Summary

[Hal Beder]

I think the results of the NIFL Board are disturbing.  Lifespan and 
connection to no child left behind suggest that the board does not see its 
mission and focus as squarely being  adult literacy.  EFF is a concern 
because EFF's strategy for education does not align well with no child left 
behind. Does anyone have more information?
