At Risk: Adult Schools in California. Report
Frey, Susan
EdSource
Adult schools are facing the biggest threat to their existence since the first school was founded in California a century and a half ago. An EdSource survey in October-November 2011 found that 23 of the state's 30 largest school districts had made major cuts to their adult education programs, including Anaheim Union High School District, which eliminated its 73-year-old program in 2010-11.
