[R2R-OR] Still no news: grant applications delayed

[Katie Anderson]

It's July 2nd so you're probably wondering, "Where is my 2016 Ready to Read grant application?"

The 2016 grant applications are not available yet because the State Library still doesn't know if the proposed changes to the Ready to Read grant (HB 2479) will be approved by the Legislature. Therefore, we don't know if you will receive a Ready to Read or a Reading for Success grant application. As the grant administrator, I am prepared for both scenarios.

We don't know when the Legislature will make a decision about HB 2479 which means we don't know when the 2016 grant applications will be available, but MaryKay and I will email you when we learn anything that may impact the grant one way or the other.

I will inform you via this email discussion list as soon as 2016 grant applications are available online and in the mail.

You can also keep up-to-date on HB 2479 via the Legislature's website<https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2015R1/Measures/Overview/HB2479>.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Katie
