The statutory authority for these rules is found in sections 22-10-104 and 22-10-105, C.R.S. |
Description of Subjects/Issues |
The proposed amendments to the rules
incorporate changes to the Adult Education and Literacy Act that were made because of Senate
Bill 23-007. The goals of the Adult Education and Literacy Grant Program are to provide adults
with education that leads to additional skills acquisition and may lead to postsecondary
credentials and employment and that assist adults in providing academic support to their own
children or to children in their care. Senate Bill 23-007 made the following adjustments to
statute:
• Adds “digital literacy” to the basic education offered to eligible adults through the Adult
Education Grant Program;
• Provides that an eligible adult may earn a high school diploma or equivalency certificate through
programs supported by the grant;
• Expands eligibility for the grant by simplifying the definition of a workforce development
partnership;
• Streamlines the renewal / discontinuation process for current grantees; and
• Clarifies information CDE is authorized to collect from applicants and grantees. |
