The Adult Education Program in Richland School District One has been in existence for more than 30 years. This program provides educational services for adults according to the purposes set forth in the Workforce Investment Act and in accordance with all state and federal laws and regulations. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated by improving the academic skills of adults and families, as measured by the number of adults earning high school diplomas and GEDs each year and the gains achieved by adults functioning below eighth-grade educational level. Richland One Adult Education operates a full range of programs throughout the calendar year, during both the day and evening. The regular session operates for 35 weeks, from August to May. A summer program for high school diploma, GED and ESL is offered during June.
