About the Rancho Santiago Adult Education Consortium
The Rancho Santiago Adult Education Consortium is part of the Adult Education Block Grant (AEBG).

The intent of the Adult Education Block Grant was to expand and improve the provision of adult education via these consortia. For more information, visit www.ranchosantiagoadulted.com.
