<div>Dear Assessment Advisory Committee members,</div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div>Based on your commitment to high-quality assessment practices, I wanted to make sure that you were each aware of a contracting opportunity that was announced on the Business Manager’s listserv this morning. It is for four districts to receive $100,000
each to focus on developing local assessment capacity and to become regional ambassadors for how to develop local assessment capacity.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The application was sent out with the announcement and is only one and a half (1.5) pages. If interested, and unable to access the listserv, please email me and I will send you the application directly. All completed applications are due to Cristen McLean,
<a href="mailto:cristen.mclean@state.or.us,"><u>cristen.mclean@state.or.us,</u></a> by May 21, 2014.</div>
