Why are classes only available to adults in the San Jose Unified School District service area?

In January 2011, the San Jose Unified School District (SJUSD) Board of Education unanimously voted to keep 3.5 million dollars of the funds received from the state for adult education. MAEP administers the adult education program for the SJUSD. Due to a reduction of two-thirds of the funding for MAEP programs, it was necessary to consolidate classes into one main site at the Metropolitan Adult Education Center. This necessitated a reduction in the number of classes taught and students that could be served beginning July 1, 2011. The consolidation will allow MAEP to provide a leaner and more efficient program, while continuing to offer outstanding service to students and the community.
