	Introduction
	No matter how hard we try to simplify the administrative procedures, rules and regulations, the procedures change, and so must the manuals. To aid local programs in keeping abreast of these new procedures and changes to old ones, this guide has been prepared. It is our intent to use this guide to: Keep all programs current on existing rules, regulations, and procedures. Provide the best information we have which will contribute to program quality and improvement, and  Orient new staff. As you look through this guide you will note that, in addition to its new format, there is new and/or revised information. I urge you to study this guide carefully, and if you have any questions or suggestions, contact my office immediately so that we can make changes. Our goal is to keep this guide up-to-date. It will be very helpful if you will keep us informed of current information about your Center. Sincerely, Valerie Fischer, State Director Adult Education and Literacy
