UPDATE CONCERNING FUNDING
The Department of Education sent the following notification to States regarding FY25 funds for the Adult Education State Grant and Integrated English Language and Civics Education (IELCE) programs:
Given the change in Administrations, the Department is reviewing the FY2025 funding for the Adult Education Basic Grants to States grant program, including the Integrated English Language and Civics Education (IELCE) program, and decisions have not yet been made concerning submissions and awards for this upcoming academic year. Accordingly, the Department will not be issuing Grant Award Notifications obligating funds for these programs on July 1 prior to completing that review. The Department remains committed to ensuring taxpayer resources are spent in accordance with the President’s priorities and the Department’s statutory responsibilities.
PRACEP IS SHUTTERED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Adult education programs nationwide are at risk because the Office of Management and Budget is withholding critical FY25 funds that were already approved by Congress. This delay threatens services for 1.2 million adult learners and the jobs of 82,000 educators. Immediate action is needed to release the funding now.

SAMPLE MESSAGE
I’m an adult learner in your state, and I’m writing to ask for your urgent help. I found out that funding for adult education programs is frozen and are being held by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and all questions must go to OMB Director Russell Vought.
As someone who depends on adult education, this is frightening. These programs help people get their GED, learn computer skills, and get ready for better jobs. My program is already closed until they receive funding.
Please reach out to OMB Director Vought and urge him to release Fiscal Year 2025 funding for the Adult Education State Grants and the Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education (IELCE) program. These funds were already approved by Congress and should not be delayed.
Thank you for your time and for standing up for adult learners like me. I’m happy to share more about how adult education has changed my life.

Dedicated Educators for Adults
Piedmont Regional Adult and Career Education Programs (PRACEP), in Planning District 9 (Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock. Counties), is one of 22 regional adult education programs funded by the Virginia Department of Education's Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education.
Almost one million adults in Virginia do not have a high school diploma or GED®. PRACEP's goal is to prepare as many individuals as possible for post secondary education and/or careers. PRACEP is an official Pearson VUE GED® testing provider.

The mission of PRACEP, in collaboration with mandated WIOA partners, is to raise the educational levels of eligible adults by providing academic instruction in a caring environment that strengthens literacy and language skills, promotes the attainment of GED® credentials and provides the foundation for post-secondary education and highly skilled employment.
