  which, in addition to the directory, contains other
  department documents and data, information on department
  services and programs, and curricular resources and
  activities.


  The contents of the directory are based upon the most
  recent information the department has received from the
  annual data collection in July and fall membership in
  November.  All area codes were corrected per Bell
  Atlantic.  If any of the information for your school
  division has changed, or if there are additional
  personnel you would like to have included, please E-mail
  the changes to pwhicks@pen.k12.va.us.  All corrections
  will be reflected on our website promptly as well as in
  future printings of the directory.  Additionally, we ask

  they occur throughout the year.  This way we may keep the
  directory continually updated.
