<div><font color="#1F497D">Good afternoon,</font></div>
<div><font color="#1F497D"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#1F497D">Recently I informed you about a training I conducted, involving mostly Special Education Directors and their Assistant Managers. I forwarded template examples for tracking time and effort in that message.</font></div>
<div><font color="#1F497D"> </font></div>
<div><font color="#1F497D">A second promise I made to the group is that I would forward a Q and A on reducing MOE during the 2009-2010 school year. You will find that attached below, along with a checklist I developed for each district or consortium to complete
if they are eligible to lower their bar, and interested in doing so.</font></div>

<div><font color="#1F497D">I have placed both of these documents at the very top of our Special Education Funding Site for easy reference. The link is as follows:</font></div>
