Hi All,
In California, there is already in place a program identified as Adult
Education. It is under the jurisdiction of the high school districts. The
Community Colleges must "articulate' with them when we offer certain types
of courses, especially if they are non-credit, no-unit, no-grade, and no
fee. The basic premise, is, this is where adults may complete high school,
learn to speak, write, and read English. The Adult Education programs are
as good as the local school boards which is similar to K-12, and of course
how financially healthy they are.

Subject: Re: Students in Crisis Policies and Procedures
Maureen,
Thanks for your response. I have told the particular student I am dealing
with this year
that although ADA does provide her with testing accommodations (extended
time and private
testing), ADA does not permit her to ignore the rules, regulations and
policies of the
institution.
I'd appreciate hearing from others on this issue.
