Welcome Message from Sherri Watkins, SCAEC Executive Director
Welcome back to the 2021-2022 School Year!
It’s hard to believe that summer is almost at an end, and now we look forward to the beginning of a new and exciting 2021-2022 school year! We made it through a very different 2020-2021 school year and learned so much along the way. The State Center Adult Education Consortium (SCAEC) begins our seventh year and we now officially have 22 members!
