The Coalition of Adult Basic Education (COABE) presented an award to Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday, March 26, recognizing his role in securing millions in federal funding for adult education and career training programs.

Walz joined a national group of governors in signing an open letter to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to advocate for the release of $6.8 billion in congressionally approved funding that the Department of Education was expected to distribute to schools by July 1, 2025. This collective pressure was instrumental in releasing approximately $7 million in federal funding for Adult Education that had been delayed, ensuring program stability through fiscal year 2026.
