SUBJECT: |
General Adult Education Application for 2006-2007 |
Pending approval by the 2006 General Assembly, the
Virginia Department of Education will make state funds available for the
reimbursement of expenditures made by school divisions for local General Adult
Education (GAE) programs in the fiscal year 2006-2007. Reimbursement will be
based on the total 2006-2007 cost of the local GAE programs and the total
available funds. As permitted by the state appropriation act, the reimbursement
will be based on a fixed-cost per class.
Classes eligible for reimbursement for the fiscal
year 2006-2007 include adult high school classes for credit, regular General
Educational Development (GED) preparatory classes, and adult secondary classes
for English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). These funds may not be used for non-credit
career and technical education programs.
School divisions are encouraged to use these funds to support the Race
to GED program.
Records on adult learners served with these funds
must be entered into the Adult Education Web-based Data System. Demographic information, attendance hours,
pre-testing assessment scores, and goals must be entered for all General Adult
Education students to ensure accurate reporting. In cases where the GAE funds are under
different supervision from the adult education program, coordination of data
entry with the adult education program manager is essential.
To
submit a GAE application, complete the GAE Classes and Projected Cost
form. Also, as a part of your application,
complete the attached budget summary form and provide a brief budget narrative
describing how you will use the GAE funds.
If
no program is planned, please write NO PROGRAM PLANNED on the face of the
application and include the name of your division and the superintendents
signature.
The
application and the outline of the proposed program are to be received on or
before July 3, 2006. Do not e-mail applications.
