President Requests
Level '03 Funding
For Adult Ed
President Bush's FY 2003 budget request includes an increase for the
Department of Education and level funds adult education at $591M. Of that
amount, $575M will go for state grants, $10M for national leadership
activities, and $7M for the National Institute for Literacy. No funding was
requested for literacy programs for prisoners that received $5M last year.
For the complete budget, see http://www.omb.gov
Estimated '02 State
Allotments on Web
Thanks to some good work by our budget office, the estimated state-by-state
adult education allotments for FY 2002 are posted at
http://www.ed.gov/offices/OUS/Budget02/02byprogram.xls See pages 40-41.
Both the state grant and the EL/Civics estimates appear there. These may
change if we get updated Census data and Immigration and Naturalization
Service data, respectively to use in making the allotments.
Bank of America's
America/Works Helps
TANF Clients Move Up
Bank of America's America/Works program helps clients transitioning from
welfare to work move into entry-level jobs at local banks and keep moving
up. The bank partners with local CBOs, community colleges and/or government
to offer customized "pre-hire" training to prepare people for jobs at the
bank. It also runs retention/career advancement programs. In Seattle and San
Francisco, Bank of America currently is running onsite work-based English as
a second language classes to help limited English speakers move from
entry-level work to customer service. Partners include Goodwill and City
College respectively. In some locations, employees get paid release time to
attend. The America/Works program is part of the bank's strong culture of
promotion from within. Since 1998, Bank of America has hired more than 3,000
former public assistance recipients and has facilitated the hiring of
hundreds more by other companies. Contact

What If You Are
Stopped by Police?
You or I might know to stay in the car and put the dome light on if police
pull us over, but immigrants may not. Lutheran Community Services' English
literacy/civics education program--funded by OVAE--has a nifty new pamphlet
in six languages, contrasting what it may be customary to do in other
cultures and what Americans do. For example, in other cultures a person
might offer to pay the fine to the police officer, but in the US, officers
would consider this a bribe. Languages include: English; Albanian; Russian;
Spanish; Farsi; Swahili and French. For one free copy, contact
