In Missouri, a cross section of providers includes public schools, community colleges, and CBOs in cooperation with many of the other agencies mentioned. Bob Weng -----Original Message----- From: Gail Spangenberg [mailto:gspangenberg@caalusa.org] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 6:49 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-ASSESSMENT:238] Re: [NIFL-4EFF:2289] RE: Task Force Named for CAAL Community Coll Friends, I personally want to assure you that CAAL itself is committed to seeing that voluntary organizations, CBOS, and other key components of the provider system are properly protected and represented in this exercise. In fact, one of the motivating forces for the founding of CAAL was my belief that voluntary organizations/CBOs at the local level are getting short shrift in the application of current law, and in the allocation of funds whether from state or federal sources. This despite the fact that they are the key players when it comes to providing service to adults at the lowest proficiency levels. Community colleges are one of many resources -- libraries are another -- that are available as service providers to the adult education and literacy system, and what CAAL means to do is look for ways that the colleges and the adult education and literacy system can do a better job, on their own and together, in service to adult literacy. We believe both parties to the equation stand to benefit. You will note that we have been careful on the task force to select people who can well represent the interests of voluntary and other ABE groups. I hope that anyone who wants to share their views and concerns and hopes with the project study director, Forrest Chisman, will do so. Feel free to e-mail him at forrest@crosslink.net. You will appreciate that he will not have time for listserv discoursing, but I know that he will welcome hearing from any interested parties directly. I will be glad to hear from you, too, of course, and will be pleased to pass along your comments. I have a special fondness in my heart for local LVA and Laubach tutoring programs.
