FROM:	Patricia I. Wright Acting Superintendent of Public Instruction
SUBJECT:	Title IV: Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, Fiscal Year 2004-2005 Progress Report

Section 4116 of the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (SDFSCA) under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires the collection of information about state and local implementation of the SDFSCA. States are required to submit information on state and local programs conducted with assistance furnished through the SDFSCA. Information from school divisions is required for inclusion in the Virginia report to the United States Department of Education.

This memo is to inform you that the Safe and Drug-Free School coordinators were notified in early December that the SDFSCA progress report for the fiscal year 2004 (July 1, 2004 June 30, 2005) must be submitted to the Virginia Department of Education no later than January 27, 2006. Items in the report remain essentially unchanged from previous years reports; however, the method of submitting reports has changed. Progress reports are to be submitted online at the website http://www.safeanddrugfreeva.org. The online submission form and full instructions for submission can be found at this website.

Individual passwords have been mailed to the SDFSCA school division coordinators. A password is required to order to log in to complete the report.

Should there be questions, please contact Arlene Cundiff by phone at 804-225-2871 or Arlene.Cundiff@doe.virginia.gov in the Office of Student Services.
