California's budget crisis has led the school districts to consider cutting adult education and GED programs state-wide. Please sign this petition to help keep these programs for those who are improving their situations and those of their respective communities. HELP US SAVE THE SCHOOLS!
The volume of support for these programs has caught the attention of several local news outlets who are now reviewing our case. I am finalizing a formal briefing for the state board to ensure this momentum translates into a tangible policy discussion.

Aside from the numerous studies documenting the great advantages of continuing educaiton for the senior population, how about the years of taxes we have paid into the system and now upon retirement are unable to have access to adult ed programs to pursue our dreams (in non degree school programs)? Once again, education, the arts, seniors etc will take
a back seat.

Ridiculous. We pay enough in taxes already. Leave the adult classes alone we need these skills for the job market.
