General
Adult Education (GAE) Application for 2007-2008 |
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 fiscal year 2008. Reimbursement will be based on
the total 2007-2008 cost of the local GAE programs and the total available state
funds.
Classes
eligible for reimbursement in fiscal year 2008 include adult high school
classes for credit, General Educational Development (GED) preparation classes, adult
basic education classes, and adult English for speakers of other languages
(ESOL) classes. These state funds may not be used for non-credit career and
technical education programs.
Unlike
previous years, you are asked to notify the Office of Adult Education and
Literacy of your intent to apply for these funds. This will facilitate the calculation of the
minimum amount available to each local program.
As a result, you will be provided information on funding prior to the
preparation and submission of your application.
This will enable you to develop a budget for the application.
You
should return the attached form stating your intent to apply or not apply for
these state funds to Dr. Mike Nusbaum, adult secondary specialist, in the
Office of Adult Education and Literacy, no later than April 20, 2007. If you
have questions or need additional program information, please contact Dr.
Nusbaum via e-mail at Michael.Nusbaum@doe.virginia.gov,
or telephone (804) 786-7644. The application packet is also attached for your
reference.
