HB 1119 Education of certain adults.

Introduced by: I. Vincent Behm, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Education of certain adults. Modifies the adult education law to define "target population" as those residents of Virginia who, having completed the ninth grade, have never completed high school, and to require the Board of Education and those school divisions with adult education programs to work aggressively toward assisting every Virginian who is a member of the target population in obtaining a general educational development (GED) certificate. The funding formula is noted; the state's share is increased to 80 percent and the state's fixed unit costs are increased by multiplying the statewide average teacher's salary per hour by two and one-half and calculating the number of teachers and the number of hours taught in the locality.
