I’m also recommending that we sign onto National Skills Coalition’s budget letter. http://action.nationalskillscoalition.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=13114 Not a lot here on adult ed, but it does note the importance of funding Title II at authorized levels. Here is the relevant language: "• Fund adult education and literacy programs under Title II of WIOA at authorized levels to ensure that the 36 million Americans with low basic skills are able to take advantage of emerging economic opportunities. “ This VERY clearly falls under our general policy priority of securing adequate funding for adult ed, so I don’t think it needs approval. But again, let me know if you disagree — by COB Tuesday. Jeff

I agree that it's a good idea for NCL to sign on to this letter. Silja .
