Barry and others in California and elsewhere,
This interpretation may be based on a decision made in May last year
by the FCC concerning a Connecticut Adult Education Program. You can
read about this at:
http://www.e-ratecentral.com/FCC/fcc_decisions.asp?pg=4
(DA-04-1394A1.pdf )
I wonder if adult schools in California would be regarded differently
from adult education programs in Connecticut, as they are schools,
not programs, and especially since their funding is ADA -- the same
as K-12 schools, and -- if this is the case -- if they do not also do
continuing education beyond the GED or h.s. diploma.
I understand that you may not wish to pursue this. On the other
hand, given the potential 80% discount your school would receive on
technology purchases, and potential eligibility for other technology
funds, maybe you would. Or maybe another adult school would.
If so, let us know how you make out. If adult schools get
eligibility -- as charter schools have done -- this could open the
door to further recognition of adult education.
