The Rebuild Adult Education Petition - It Still Matters

As CCAE Legislative Analyst Dawn Koepke said, we need to keep the heat on.

The Rebuild Adult Education petition is part of that heat.

Valli Sharpe-Geisler of Eastside Adult Education in San Jose has come up with a great way to do that for people who don't have email accounts.  Her San Jose Federation of Teachers Local 957 created a paper version of the petition.  People can sign and then the paper copy of the petition can be mailed or hand-delivered to a local legislator.  Legislators have offices in their home districts.  The cost, depending on how much paper is involved, would probably not be more than five bucks. 

You can copy and paste the information below to create a paper version of the Petition.

United Adult Students of Los Angeles collected 10,000 signatures in 10 days for their own paper and pencil petition to stop Gov. Brown's plan and obtain designated funding and accessible programs.

Let's see what we can do before the May Revise. 

(That's when Brown comes out with a new version of his Budget Plan.)

Copy and paste the info below to make your own paper-and-pencil version of the Petition.

Rebuild Adult Ed: K-12 & Designated Funding Stream Petition


To be delivered to: The California State Assembly, The California State Senate, and Governor Jerry Brown 

Petition Statement 

“Rebuild Adult Education:  Keep the K-12 systems and Provide A Designated Funding Stream”  

Petition Background

Adult Ed has been serving California for over 150 years, helping parents, the unemployed, seniors, young adults, & immigrants gain the skills they need to contribute to California at full power. In the last five years, it's been cut to the bone. Now Gov. Brown wants to move it to the Community College system, away from the low-cost programs in K-12 systems. The move would cost money. And it would make it harder or impossible for some students to access it. Keep Adult Ed as it is - but give it a stable budget (a designated funding stream). Rebuild Adult Education to Rebuild the State. Adult Education Matters!
