The link is under the Funding section and is labeled "School Improvement Fund Allocations for 2007-08 and 2008-09 as of 11/24/2008." The column labeled "November '08 SIF Total Revenue" is of particular interest as it is the sum of the 2008-09 SIF disbursement and the 2007-08 SIF corrections, and this should be the amount deposited into your LGIP this week. Due to the amount of requests submitted in the last couple of days, and limited staff available to administer to the SIF data collection updates, a decision has been made to extend the collection until next Friday, December 5. I don't know about you, but I know I'll be referencing this decision when I'm asked on Thursday what I'm thankful for. Technical assistance: Please e-mail your requests, questions and/or measure updates to both Julie Anderson and Michael Wiltfong, and we'll get to them just as soon as we can. Also, due to timing, if you have left a voice mail and have not heard back from either Julie and/or Mike, please resend your request/question via e-mail, as it's the fastest means in which to administer issues. Also, we will be primarily focused on making updates to measures at this time. Other issues may have to wait unless it prohibits the function of your data collection. With that said, I'll close by wishing you and yours a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
