As a Mt Washington resident I am asking the my neighborhood council members to pass a resolution in support of Adult Education. Adult Ed is one of LAUSD’s most effective programs, as proven by the 300,000 plus students attending English,Parenting and Basic Education classes. Students attend classes both in the daytime and evenings to increase parenting skills and to become more marketable in the workplace. To eliminate Adult Ed is not a wise financial or social decision, since the benefits of the program to the community far out weigh the costs. Let’s not make an expedient decision to cut this program, that we will all surely live to regret.
