    |
0015|     
    |
0016|          WHEREAS, New Mexico's adult basic education programs are
    |
0017|     important for addressing the state's illiteracy problems; and
    |
0018|          WHEREAS, New Mexico's adult basic education programs serve
    |
0019|     almost thirty-seven thousand of our citizens, but the estimated
    |
0020|     need is in excess of two hundred seventy thousand; and  
    |
0021|          WHEREAS, New Mexico's adult basic education classes are
    |
0022|     offered primarily through the state's system of community
    |
0023|     colleges at two hundred sixty-six sites statewide, but there
    |
0024|     still remains unequal access to rural populations; and
    |
0025|          WHEREAS, New Mexico's adult basic education program is
    |
0001|     expected to play an increasing role in the transition of our

0002|     citizens from welfare and the transition of special needs
    |
0003|     students into the workplace or post-secondary education,
    |
0004|     creating additional demands on services; and
    |
0005|          WHEREAS, a new, more equitable funding formula for
    |
0006|     distribution has been developed as a result of the adult basic
    |
0007|     education working group, comprised of institutional fiscal
    |
0008|     agents, but state dollars may not be available for full
    |
0009|     implementation; and
    |
0010|          WHEREAS, the continued success of New Mexico's adult basic
    |
0011|     education program is linked to program expansion, instructional
    |
0012|     and program innovations, development of measurable and
    |
0013|     meaningful outcomes, strong working relationships with other
    |
0014|     agencies that serve adult basic education clients and increased
    |
0015|     meaningful linkages with employers;
    |
0016|          NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
    |

    |
0001|     education make recommendations about expanded service, serving
