Thank you for the great story regarding adult education in Colorado and the signing of House Bill 1085 authorizing the Adult Education and Literacy Act in Colorado (Herald, June 16).
I do, however, have a few corrections to make that were stated incorrectly in your story. There are currently two adult education programs in La Plata County: the Durango Education Center serves Durango and the Pine River Community Learning Center serves the Pine River Valley from Vallecito Lake to Navajo Lake, with two sites – one in Bayfield and one in Ignacio.
I am the executive director. Also housed at Pine River Community Learning Center is a two-way interactive broadcast system with Utah State University, where students can earn a certificate through a Ph.D. without leaving Ignacio or Bayfield. Pine River serves more than 700 students each year.
