The AB86 website now lists the new members of the Workgroup.
Reminder: The Work Group does the nitty-gritty work. The Cabinet is the Big Boss.

| What's happening in there? |
There was no official announcement about this change. There was no email sent to those of us on the email list. There is nothing in their
November Newsletter. There was no explanation or announcement of why or how the change was made.
Perhaps the Cabinet, the "Decider," had very good reasons for making these changes.
They did not choose, however, to share them.
They did not choose transparency.
I find that troubling.
Here, in any case, is the information on the
AB86 Website:
The AB 86 Work Group, established by the AB 86 Cabinet, has twelve members, four representing adult education programs in school districts and four representing adult education programs in community colleges. Four staff members, two from the CCCCO and two from the CDE, are also in the Work group. This Work Group will develop a comprehensive Request for Application to fund planning and implementation grants.
If you have comments or questions for the Work Group, we encourage you to use the orange “feedback” button to the left of the page so that your feedback can be properly reviewed.
