AB 684 California Assembly · 2013-2014 Regular Session

Workforce training: general educational development test preparation: grants.

Summary

Existing law establishes a system of public elementary and secondary schools in this state, and authorizes school districts to award high school diplomas to pupils who have met specified requirements. Existing law also establishes various programs that provide financial aid for qualifying students attending postsecondary educational institutions. Existing law establishes the California Workforce Investment Board for, among other purposes, promoting the development of a well-educated and highly skilled workforce. This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to provide funding to institutions that offer instruction to persons who are preparing for the general educational development test. The bill would authorize the California Workforce Investment Board to provide grants from available federal and state funds to accredited institutions that provide instruction to persons who are preparing for the general educational development test and that apply to the board to receive grants pursuant to these provisions. If the board identifies funds available for the grants, the bill would require the board to develop and adopt regulations and procedures for the process of receiving and evaluating applications for grants under these provisions.
