<div>Good afternoon – </div>
<div> </div>
<div>You may have heard recently (as of Wednesday, December 16) about federal changes to Section 1512 reporting for this current cycle (ending December 31, 2009).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please note we have been informed the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will release updated jobs guidance and other related reporting guidance updates today, Friday, December 18. <font color="#1F497D"> </font>While several federal agencies have <font color="#1F497D">r</font>eferenced
the expected changes, we have seen nothing official from OMB. <b>Therefore, please continue to operate under ODE’s previously issued reporting guidance until/unless instructed otherwise. </b></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman, serif" size="3"> </font></div>
<div>We realize the frustration of receiving updated guidance this late in the reporting cycle, especially in light of the upcoming holiday season, and we are working to minimize impact on our school districts and other sub-recipients. We greatly appreciate
all the efforts you have made to ensure the State of Oregon successfully complies with Section 1512 reporting requirements.</div>
