Requires the grants to be used to provide persons in Cook County who are between the ages of 17 and 24 years with basic adult secondary education, job training, and other instruction necessary to increase their employment qualifications. Provides for implementation of the adult secondary education program under an interagency agreement between the State Board of Education and Jobs for Youth/Chicago, and requires the State Board of Education, which is to supervise the program's implementation, to determine the annual amount of a cost of instruction grant based upon performance outcomes of students in the program and standards established by the State Board of Education for program implementation.
