Legislation: AB 104: California Adult Education Program

The California Legislature has passed Assembly Bill 104 which includes the legislation for the California Adult Education Program. The California Adult Education Program will fund adult education providers and the adult education regional consortia. Please refer to Sec. 39, Article 9, Section 84900

The California Community College Chancellor’s Office and the California Department of Education are working in partnership to implement the California Adult Education Program. The CAEP appropriates funds through regional consortia consisting of community college districts, school districts and county offices of education to implement regional plans to better serve the needs of adults in California.

Details about plans to target these priority areas in the north state can be found under the Governance Section of this webpage in Regional Planning documents.

Additional information about CAEP, including governance members, public meeting times and regional plans, can be found under the Governance page.
