Bring Back Adult Education
In these trying times the citizens of Antioch should have the ability to change the direction their lives are headed by taking courses that offer new career opportunities. However, with the state trying to cut funds to education, our Adult Program was closed, when our citizens need it the most.
We need to reconsider this in our current economic state for both the city and its citizens.
Our Adult Program should offer a non-traditional perspective to ensure that our adults have an understanding of how money works, how credit cards play a double edged game and principles of self reliance to blend with their career goals.
Our students as well would benefit from such an education since the state doesn’t have it in its curriculum for K-12. Here’s an opportunity for the city to fill the vacant storefronts with home grown entrepreneurs from our own schools.
