SUBJECT: |
2007-2008 Title III, Part A, Allocations under Provisions
of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Public Law 107-110 |
Attached are the 2007-2008 Title III, Part A, federal allocations for school divisions that qualify based
on the fall 2006 enrollment of limited English proficient (LEP) students and/or
immigrant and youth students.
The total amount of the allocation was available to school
divisions as of July 1, 2007, through the reimbursement process. School divisions that receive less than
$10,000 through the LEP grant award allocation must apply in a consortium with
one or more school divisions to be eligible to receive the award. This limitation does not apply for the
immigrant and youth award.
Upon final approval of a school divisions application by
the Virginia Department of Education, the school division will receive an
e-mail with instructions to log onto the Online Management of Education Grant
Awards (OMEGA) system to review the grant award notification and to distribute
the budgets to the object code level.
Questions regarding this process should be sent to OMEGA SUPPORT at omega.support@doe.virginia.gov
or call (804) 225-2040.
If you have already submitted an application, a revised
application reflecting the 2007-2008 grant award amount
will need to be submitted.
If you have questions, please contact Judy Radford, ESL
coordinator, at (804) 786-1692, or
Judy.Radford@doe.virginia.gov;
or Stacy Freeman,
ESL specialist, at (804) 371-0778, or Stacy.Freeman@doe.virginia.gov.
