The document presents a status report and summary of State advisory councils on adult education. It is not restricted to those councils using Federal funds, but reports on all adult education advisory activities at the State level from the 50 States and other possessions and territories. Pertinent portions from the Adult Education Act concerning State advisory councils on adult education are excerpted. Based on interviews conducted during the summer of 1975, the survey report of State advisory councils presents the following information (alphabetically, by State): name of advisory body; authorization and/or appointment authority; whether it has written rules, records, and operation policy; whether the public is represented; and any additional comments. Profiles from each State are also provided. The methods of selecting State boards of education and chief State school officers are also reported alphabetically by State. Concluding the document is a report of the amount of FY 1975-76 Federal funding allocated to States for vocational education, vocational education advisory councils, adult education, and the adult education administrative allotment.
