Most educators can attest that their work extends beyond the school walls. This is especially true of adult educators, who play a vital role in the school system as well as the community as a whole.
One educator who has created an adult school deeply linked to the community is ACSA’s 2010 Adult Education Administrator of the Year Joyce Lude, principal of Roseville Adult School in Roseville USD.
Adult education is a crucial component of California's public education system. ACSA recognizes the growing number of adults being educated through the state's public schools and the importance of this service. ACSA continues to work with other adult education organizations to create a united voice on legislative proposals to enhance adult education.
ACSA's adult educators have increased in membership and are working to raise awareness of adult education within legislative districts. These members are coordinating with other groups on these local adult education lobby days. In addition, adult education administrators are very involved in federal funding issues and lobbying Congress to ensure these funds flow to Sacramento.
