storms that extended many of your winter breaks, we have decided to extend the

Technical Assistance workshops across the state.  If you already have a
draft of your plan, we recommend you bring it to the workshops for
feedback prior to submission.  If you have already submitted your plan,
this will help with any revisions that might be necessary to get a plan
approved.  If other ESDs or regions are interested in having a workshop in
your local area, please let me know.  The following dates and locations are
