In 2004 the California Department of Education, Adult Education Office, transferred the working files of the Joint Board Committee
to the CA Adult Education Archives at the Sacramento County Office of Education.
The Joint Board Task Force on Noncredit and Adult Education was established in 1997 as a result of Governor Pete Wilson's
veto message of Assembly Bill 824 which proposed the establishment of a joint working group composed of representatives of
the California Community Colleges Board of Governors and the California State Board of Education to address mutually important
and recurring issues. The Joint Board Task Force which came to be known as the Joint Board Committee (JBC) held five field
public meetings for experts to present testimony on four policy areas: scope of instruction, funding issues, quality and accountability,
and collaborative planning. The members that staffed the committee were known as the Interagency Coordinating Team (IACT).
In December 1998 the committee produced a report detailing 12 recommendations to promote quality learning opportunities for
student success. The committee communicated with the field via a comprehensive Web site.
Beginning in 1999 a Work Group of the JBC continued to work on recommendations and proposed actions. Meetings of the Work
Group continued through March 2000. Several subgroups were established. The recommendations and actions items in the Joint
Board report received minimal attention because funding was lacking for the Joint Board to continue to hold meetings and staff
the subsequent work; consensus between the Legislature and the Governor on solutions was also lacking. Work did begin on cooperative
review and update of model standards in five program areas: English as a second language; adult basic education, adult secondary
education, parent education, and older adult education.
