Submission
of Division Remediation Report for Summer 2002 Due
Date: September 1, 2003 |
Regulation 8-VAC-20-630, Attachment A, provides
standards for state-funded remedial programs and requires school divisions to
report specified data pertaining to their state-funded remedial programs and
annually evaluate the success of those programs.
As indicated in Superintendents Regulatory Memo No.
1, dated March 15, 2002, Attachment A, changes to the fiscal year 2002-2003
budget (HB/SB30) adopted by the General Assembly restored language in the
budget to provide flexibility in the use of Standards of Quality (SOQ) and
Standards of Learning (SOL) remediation funds.
During fiscal year 2002-2003, school divisions could choose to use state
payments provided for SOQ and SOL remediation as a block grant, without
restrictions or reporting requirements, other than those that are necessary for
determining funding for the program.
The block grant language did not include state-funded remedial summer
school programs held in 2002.
In Superintendents Administrative Memo No. 30,
dated May 28, 2002, divisions were informed that data specified in 8-VAC-20-630
regarding 2002 summer remedial programs must be submitted to the Department of
Education by September 1, 2003.
The department has developed an electronic form for
reporting this data. This report and directions for its use are available at
the following website: http://www.pen.k12.va.us/VDOE/Instruction/remediationreg.html. All reports will be submitted electronically
to ksmith@mail.vak12ed.edu.
If you should have any questions regarding the
completion of this report, please contact Kathleen Smith (mailto:ksmith@mail.vak12ed.edu),
remediation program
specialist, at (804) 786-5819.
