Community colleges and the state education department will spend federal stimulus funds to save adult education in the state. The recently signed state budget eliminated all funds for adult education, about $4.4 million. That endangered $11.8 million in matching federal funds. Pima Community College announced a short-term solution Tuesday that will keep adult education programs safe for another year.

PCC has committed to pay $400,000 from stimulus money it previously received, and Tempe-based Rio Salado Community College will pay $425,000. Plus, the state will spend $556,000 in federal stimulus money on adult education, according to an Arizona Department of Education memo. For full article click here
