RE: Grants for Extended Assessments

The funding for the Extended Assessment grants for this school year is in process.  These are going out early enough so you should have adequate time to use the funds as they are designated. The Extended Assessment grants are flat funded this year, meaning you will be receiving about the same amount of funds as last year. The Extended Assessment grants are to be utilized to maintain and support your capacity to assess students with disabilities. In addition, these funds are to be used to support Oregon's transition to the new alternate assessment we expect to begin administering in 2014-15.  Support to staff and our students is critical and I know these funds will help in that effort. The grant notification will be sent to your superintendent, and/or business manager in the near future.

The grant manager for the Extended Assessment grants is Brad Lenhardt. He can be reached at brad.lenhardt at state.or.us<mailto:brad.lenhardt at state.or.us> or 503-947-5755 Feel free to contact him if you have questions after you receive the notification.

Thanks for all you do on behalf of students with disabilities.

Nancy Latini
