Policy
Code: DDA
TO: Superintendents of Schools
FROM: J. Duke Albanese, Commissioner
DATE: June 14, 2002
SUBJECT: No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Application
for Funds and Allocations
This
year the NCLB team would like to utilize technology as much as possible in its
distribution of information to LEAs.
The following documents and information will be posted on the new NCLB
website, www.maine.gov/education/nclb:
School
administrative units are encouraged to download the application form,
instructions, guidance, and performance report from this site in either
Word2000 (*.doc/.dot), web format (*.htm), or universal Rich Text Formatting
(*.rtf) files. Allocation amounts will
be found in the “New NCLB Title Name” column.
By downloading the files, you should be able to complete the forms using
your word processor.
If
your district has problems copying or reading the files on the site, you may
request a printed version by calling the NCLB Office at 624-6705 or e-mailing
Lorraine Cote at lorraine.cote@state.me.us
and requesting the specific forms you need.
You must return a signed original and three copies of the application and performance report to the NCLB Clearinghouse, 23 State House Station, Augusta, ME 04333 by the indicated deadline of August 1, 2002, or e-mail a request for an extension to Lorraine Cote with an anticipated date of submission. Although applications and reports cannot be accepted via e-mail at the moment, please understand that we are anticipating the availability of electronic submission in the next 2003-2004 school year.
Some draft allocations are available and have been
posted out to the web site. Title IA
and Title ID amounts will not be finalized and posted until after June 17,
2002 Private school counts are in the
process of being determined and, according to the U.S. Department of Education,
proposed regulations should be available soon to assist in distributing Title
IA Education Finance Incentive Grant (EFIG) funds.
A workshop for new NCLB Coordinators to assist them
with program requirements and paperwork has been scheduled for August 19, 2002
in the Augusta area. Details will be
sent via e-mail in late July 2002, to registered participants. Please complete the registration form at the
end of this memo or e-mail your registration information by July 31, 2002 to lorraine.cote@state.me.us. If you are hiring a new NCLB Coordinator, be
