There is created in the Council on Postsecondary Education, a special fund to
be known as the adult education and literacy initiative fund, which shall consist
of moneys appropriated by the General Assembly, gifts, grants, other sources
of funding, public and private, and interest accrued by the fund. This fund shall
not lapse at the end of a fiscal year but shall be carried forward to be used only
for the purposes specified in this section. Moneys accumulated in this fund on
July 14, 2000, shall remain in the fund and be transferred to the Council on
Postsecondary Education to be used for purposes stated in this section.
The purpose of the adult education and literacy initiative fund shall be to
support strategies for adult education, to provide statewide initiatives for
excellence, and to provide funds for research and development activities.
The council, in collaboration with the Kentucky Adult Education Program, shall
establish the guidelines for the use, distribution, and administration of the fund,
financial incentives, technical assistance, and other support for strategic
planning; and guidelines for fiscal agents to assess county and area needs and
to develop strategies to meet those needs.
The fund shall include the following strategies:
(a) Statewide initiatives. Funds shall be used to encourage collaboration with
other organizations, stimulate development of models of adult education
programs that may be replicated elsewhere in the state, provide
incentives for adults, employers, and providers to encourage adults to
establish and accomplish learning contracts, provide incentives to
encourage participation in adult education, assist providers of county and
area programs in areas of highest need, and for other initiatives of
regional or statewide significance as determined by the council. The
Collaborative Center for Literacy Development: Early Childhood through
Adulthood created under KRS 164.0207 shall evaluate the reading and
literacy components of model programs funded under this paragraph.
(b) Research and demonstration. The funds shall be used to develop:
1.
Standards for the preparation, professional development, and
support for adult educators with the advice of the Kentucky Adult
Education Program and as compatible with funds provided under
Title II of the Federal Workforce Investment Act;
2.
A statewide competency-based certification for transferable skills in
the workplace; and
3.
A statewide public information and marketing campaign.
