The State Board will allocate funds to the colleges and to community-based organizations that provide basic literacy instruction and programs combining job skills with literacy education, including some which are part of the WorkFirst welfare reform program. Adult literacy programs include English as a Second Language, high school completion and GED certificate instruction for adults, and education of prison inmates. Funds are also provided to coordinate volunteer literacy tutors. This is an important part of the mission of two-year colleges. In addition, the board has scheduled a dinner meeting Wednesday with members of the Clark College Board of Trustees.
All meetings are open to the public.
