  Please note the following for this year's School Administration
  Data Collection:

      If your county, city, or town participates in the 911
      emergency system, the U.S. Postal System requires a valid
      street number and street name for all mailing addresses.

      Please review your Central Office Staff entries in the DOE
      State Education Directory.  E-Mail any additions, changes,
      or deletions to Patricia Hicks ( pwhicks@pen.k12.va.us ). 
      In order to speed the processing we request you  submit
      only the additions, changes, and deletions, not your entire
      staff listing.  To ensure this information is included in
      the Fall 1997 State Education Directory it must be received
      no later than July 21, 1997.

         formats:
