Coordination of Adult Literacy Programs:  Final Report

Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee voted in April 2006 to conduct a study of the coordination of adult literacy programs. The study focused on: a) examining how adult literacy services are funded, delivered, and overseen in Connecticut; b)  determined if the state’s current system for providing adult literacy programs is efficient and effective and, c)  what, if any, improvements in coordination are needed.  This document is the Final Report of that study.  It recommends the development of a three-year strategic plan that defines roles, identifies priorities, and directs funding for an adult literacy service system in Connecticut and the establishment of an adult literacy leadership board.  The main purpose of the committee' s proposals is to establish a state-level structure that can provide leadership, forge partnerships, and prioritize and direct the allocation of limited resources.
