Summary of Governor’s Adult Education Proposal:
• Governor is allocating $500 million for adult education
• The first $300 to $350 million will go to backfill K-12
districts’ Maintenance of Effort (MOE), which will be
allocated through CDE
• The remaining $200 to $150 million will go to fund
regional consortiums

Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Chancellor
of the California Community Colleges

a fiscal allocation committee consisting of seven (7) members:

Since the release of the January Trailer Bill, strong opposition
