President Bush has proposed budget cuts that could impact Indiana’s Adult Basic Education Program up to 74%. The impact for Marshall County would be devastating. At this time we already have 115 adult students in the program, 15 have attained their GED, and 2 have gone on to higher education. These are people who are looking to better themselves through education.
You can help by writing an email to Indiana’s Senators and Representatives asking them to continue funding Adult Basic Education. You can access their web sites below and email them directly.
