1999 SESSION
HB 2746 Adult education programs; development.
Introduced by: I. Vincent Behm, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Adult education. Requires every school division in the Commonwealth to develop an adult education program and requires the Board of Education to encourage coordination in the development and provision of such programs with other state, federal, and local public and private agencies. The bill modifies the definition of adult education program by including credit programs, cultural adult education, and external diploma programs and defines these terms. Current law provides that the Board of Education “stimulate and encourage” the development of such programs rather than requiring them. The bill also requires school divisions annually, beginning on July 1, 2000, to evaluate the adult education programs which they offer, and to report the findings, including the success rate of adults who earn a general educational development (GED) certificate or high school diploma, to the Board. The Board is required to transmit the report to the Governor and the General Assembly.
