Committee members were told March 14 that a statute change last year altered the funding formula for adult learning services and will reduce funds to nine counties. The committee chair said they are preparing an amendment to the budget to provide at least one additional year of funding.
"There was a there was a statute change last year, They changed the funding formula for for agencies. And it's none of it's for for people. It's affected 9 counties. Could every 9 counties will be losing money. And so if there needs to be no more work on that, so I'm looking for the amendment that I can try to at least get us another year before we, have to tackle that," the committee chair said during the meeting.
The chair said the amendment would be considered early in the Tuesday afternoon session and that committee members should be prepared to address the matter before the committee proceeds to the CTE item. The transcript does not record a formal committee vote on the amendment; the chair described the proposal as work in progress and asked members to coordinate on drafting and outreach.
No specific dollar amounts, eligible programs, or the nine counties affected were identified in the committee transcript excerpt.
