Current Narrative:
BASIC SKILLS DEFICIENT.—The term ‘‘basic skills deficient’’ means, with respect to an individual—
(A) who is a youth, that the individual has English reading, writing, or computing skills at or below the 8th grade level on a generally accepted standardized test; or
(B) who is a youth or adult, that the individual is unable to compute or solve problems, or read, write, or speak English, at a level necessary to function on the job, in the individual’s family, or in society.
State statute does not define Basic Skills Deficient. However, Core Partners are considering a definition to include at or below the 10th grade level. The state board will consider establishing this expanded definition for use by the Kansas Workforce System and perhaps periodically assess and change as needed.
