Designed to document the funding history of California's adult schools, this document also identifies key issues and presents several funding options. Chapter 1 provides an overview of public school adult education in California and discusses the global objectives of adult school funding. Chapter 2 discusses the legislative basis of funding, an analysis of the current funding system, and developments and considerations important to funding options. Chapter 3 discusses relevant issues (creating new adult schools, reasonable enrollment growth, adequate revenue limits, and reliable base-year adjustments) and several policy options for unfunded areas, to raise the enrollment cap, to raise the base revenue limit, and to adjust cap and revenue limits. Chapter 4 briefly summarizes preceding chapters. (CML)
