Announcement
of Four Regional Follow-up Academies for P.L. 107-110 No Child Left Behind Act
of 2001 |
The
Department of Education will sponsor four one-day follow-up academies to the
technical assistance academies held regionally in May. These academies will address the local
consolidated application and the Title I individual application requirements of
the No Child Left Behind Act.
Applications
will be submitted to the Department of Education in two phases. Phase I requirements are to be submitted by
June 14, 2002. Phase II requirements
are to be submitted by September 30, 2002.
Requirements for the second phase will be the focus of the follow-up
academies scheduled for June. The
academies will be structured so that school divisions will be able to receive
technical assistance on the process required to complete either the local
consolidated application or the Title I individual application. The content requirements for both Phase I
and II are attached.
It is
suggested that a team of no more than three representatives from a school
division attend the June academies. The
team should include: 1) the federal
programs coordinator, 2) the Title I coordinator, and 3) a key instructional leader.
The follow-up
academies are being held regionally so most attendees can drive to them
daily. The academies will begin at 8:30
a.m. and will conclude by 4 p.m. A
breakdown of school division attendance by region and overnight lodging
information are attached.
