Please Support AB 1112 to Save Parent Education and Family Literacy Programs in California

Dear Legislators:

Please support AB 1112 to save our Parent Education and Family English Literacy programs in California. Please protect the classes that helped us raise our children and educate our families for the past 30 years.

Why is this important?

Legislators will need to act now and support AB 1112 to save our parent education and family English literacy programs. Parenting and Family English Literacy classes that helped thousands of parents learn to raise their children better and get basic English skills will be closed as school districts implement AB 86, which will end their funding. AB 1112 will address this concern by including Parenting and Family English Literacy programs within the narrowed focus of the adult and continuing education programs that will receive dedicated funding through AB 86.

The Local Control Funding Formula [LCFF] can not provide a reliable source of funding to keep these programs operating, so the Parent education and Family Literacy classes will disappear next year unless legislators act now to enact AB 1112 or similar legislation to protect these valuable and effective programs.
