ODE is working on ensuring the full implementation of these standards, and I know that many of your districts are already involved in ongoing planning both independently and some of you in collaboration with the Office of Educational Improvement and Innovation. I also know that many of you are attending regional professional development hosted by COSA to support your plans for full implementation. To support this work and to ensure that you are linked to the most current information, ODE has developed a website where you will find posted all critical information on the topic of the Common Core State Standards. Updates and information are posted regularly to http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=2860 Keep this link as one of your favorites and visit the "Communication" tab frequently. The site is easy to browse for updates and you will find memos and one-pagers designed to keep you apprised. In addition to drawing your attention to this link, I will continue to send you other documents and updates as they come to my attention. On Friday I received the notice of the following update http://www.ode.state.or.us/pubs/eii/eiiupdatedec2011.pdf I hope these are helpful to you. If you have difficulty opening either link, please contact Ruby Sandberg ant ruby.sandberg at state.or.us or 503-947-5738 Ruby Sandberg, Executive Assistant to Nancy Latini, Assistant Superintendent Office of Student Learning & Partnerships Oregon Department of Education 503-947-5738 FAX: 503-378-5156 ruby.sandberg at state.or.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This message pertains to the FINAL reporting period for the ARRA IDEA grants. Please read carefully. If you are not the person responsible for Section 1512 reporting for the ARRA IDEA grants, please pass this along to that individual. 1. All subrecipients must report data this quarter, regardless of whether there is anything new to report. Since this is a very busy time of year, and many staff may be out of the office during the holidays, please report it as soon as possible. 2. The period of obligation for the ARRA IDEA grants ended on 9/30/11. 3. All subrecipient FTE (created and retained) should be reported as 0.00 since work performed during this quarter would be after the period of availability. 4. It is possible that subrecipients had additional vendor payments occurring during this quarter for obligations made prior to 10/1/11. It is necessary to report those payments in this reporting cycle. 5. If your agency reported infrastructure during the quarter ending 9/30/11, you would need to report the infrastructure during this quarter. It is cumulative, so the amount and description must be reported each quarter with any necessary upward adjustments for vendor payments made during the current quarter. I appreciate your attention to this matter.
