#he most salient 'inding to be discerned 'rom the data is the decrease in enrollments
bet"een 833:%3; and 83*$%*9 in se!eral o' the schools. Classes 'or Immigrants+ including
ES< experienced a &3= drop in enrollment+ going 'rom nearly *2+333 enrollments in 833:%
3; to 5ust under &+333 in 83*$%*9. Programs 'or />D decreased by 23=. Enrollments in
Elementary and Secondary ?asic S,ills courses decreased by :=. #hese radical decreases
in program enrollment+ due to se!ere 'unding cuts are restricting the ability to meet the
needs o' adult learners.

gro"th in immigration+ the net decrease in Classes 'or Immigrants is o' concern.
C#* and unemployment& C#E can be implemented at !arious le!els and 'or
!arying purposes and according to the </)+ there is a lac, o' clarity about the
di''erences bet"een noncredit and credit C#E. C#E pro!ides s,ills+ exposes students
to a !ariety o' career options+ and pro!ides a thematic context to 'acilitate mastery o'
academic s,ills. In adult education+ some students are ready to gain mar,etable
s,ills+ "hile others need exposure to options and a context 'or learning English and
other basic s,ills.
#hroughout the 1id%/lameda region+ short%term+ noncredit C#E has been cut by :8=
since 833:%3;. >hile unemployment and po!erty in the region are at their highest in
@ay"ard+ at *$.$ percent unemployment and *8.* percent po!erty+ @ay"ard has
experienced a ;3 percent cut in short%term C#E programs+ 'rom 8+;$3 enrollments in
833:%3; to $3* enrollments in 83*8%*$+ and only *&* enrollments in 83*$%*9.
Similarly+ in San <oren7o+ "hich has an unemployment rate o' ** percent and a

guidance 'rom the /?:& >or,group+ college credit C#E programs "ere excluded
'rom the abo!e tables+ but are robust in both colleges. @o"e!er+ many students lac,
the basic s,ills to succeed in these credit%bearing community college programsE they
need contextuali7ed programs 6 C#E combined "ith ES< and ?asic S,ills. ?ut i'
.
contextuali7ation o' ES< and ?asic S,ills to career themes and path"ays is to be
implemented+ as recommended by local consortium members as "ell as by
researchers throughout the country+ either some 'orm o' C#E "ill ha!e to be
reinstated by adult schools or close collaboration and dual enrollment "ith
community college C#E programs "ill be re(uired.
Classes $or adults -ith disabilities .A/D0 and accommodation needs. Despite
the 'act that o!er &&+333 adults in /lameda County ha!e some ,ind o' disability+
speci'ic classes or support ser!ices designed 'or />D populations ha!e been nearly
eliminated in the adult schools and cut se!erely in the colleges. /s mandated by la"+
ser!ices to support />D in pursuit o' education still exist+ but "ith smaller budgets
than in the past "hich ma,e it nearly impossible to ser!e the range o'
accommodation and support ser!ice needs o' this !ulnerable population
Apprenticeship programs address the need $or s,ills in the trades& #he adult

recei!ed se!en years ago that "ere ne!er reinstated. /lso+ as the economy reco!ers+
the need 'or s,illed "or,ers is increasing+ but SI 'unds remain stagnant+ and
there'ore apprenticeship programs are unable to meet the needs.
Castro Valley and San <eandro /dult School continue to Cpic, up the slac,DE ho"e!er+ net
enrollments are still do"n in all program areas+ particularly in classes 'or immigrantsAES<+
and classes 'or />D 6 "hich ser!e the county"ide populations "ith the greatest demand
and the transportation barriers. Castro Valley has seen lo"er mobility rate o' ES< students
to Castro Valley compared to the mobility rates 'or /?EA/SEA?asic S,ills and C#E students.
?oth o' these districts ha!e demonstrated commitment to adult education+ ser!ing students
'rom the entire region+ and should continue to be 'unded at a minimum at the same le!el as
they ha!e recently been+ to sustain their extensi!ely%de!eloped programs. E(ually
important+ many adult students+ not only immigrants and adults "ith disabilities+ ha!e limited
access to transportation. Further+ "hile many students 'rom @ay"ard+ San <oren7o+ and
)a,land .in the Northern /lameda region0 ha!e 'ound their "ay to either Castro Valley or
San <eandro+ no data exist on the toll that this has exacted in transportation costs+ child
care expenses+ and lost "ages. Elimination and reduction in adult schools ha!e created
additional barriers 'or many students "ho cannot access adult schools located outside o'
their neighborhood. /ccess is a 'undamental principle o' adult education+ suggesting the
importance o' examining the 'ull cost o' program cuts and school closures to indi!iduals+ the
region+ and the state.

/?EA/SEA ?asic S,ills and ES< programs are under pressure to "or, "ith C#E to not only
prepare students to achie!e basic literacy and numeracy+ but also to ensure that they
de!elop Ccollege and career readinessD s,ills to progress to the next le!el o' education.
#eaching and learning consistent "ith the ne" Common Core%aligned adult education
standards+ is an opportunity to rein'orce critical thin,ing and other 8*
st

"hich accelerates student learning and increases success at progressi!e le!els o'
education. Gi!en that many adult education students start at relati!ely lo" le!els and 'ace
many barriers to success+ helping students achie!e college and career readiness re(uires
