<div>Good afternoon everyone,</div>
<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div>Just a quick note to serve as a gentle reminder the quarterly ARRA Section 1512 reporting is due next week - December 31,<font size="1"><sup> </sup></font>2011. I want to say thank you to the 62% of districts that have already submitted their data for
the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund and Ed Jobs programs. I know many of you are planning to take some time off over the holidays and I just wanted to remind the remaining districts of this very important reporting requirement. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know many of you are very busy with end-of-year work, so your cooperation is very much appreciated. If you should have any questions, please let us know. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would like to close by saying thank you for all of your hard work this past year and I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. </div>
