applications. Divisions may also submit a combination of a local consolidated application
and one or more individual program applications.
Until the final allocations for 2008-2009
are released, the 2007-2008 federal allocations should be used to complete the
budget sections of the applications. Revisions
may be submitted to adjust program expenses at any time during the process
until the application is fully approved.
Once the application is approved, amendments will be required.
Each application is accompanied by a
set of guidelines and instructions and the name of a program contact person at
the Virginia Department of Education.
Please contact the appropriate program representative as needed during
the application completion and revision process. If there are questions related to the
mechanics of completing the application, please contact Becky Marable, reports
