These are going out early enough so you should have adequate time to use the funds as they are designated. The Extended Assessment sub grants are flat funded this year, meaning you will be receiving about the same amount of funds as last year (see attached Allocation Formula description). The Extended Assessment sub grants are to be utilized to maintain and support your capacity to assess students with disabilities. Support to staff and our students is critical, and I know these funds will help in that effort. The grant notification has been sent to your superintendent and/or business manager. The grant manager for the Extended Assessment sub grants is Brad Lenhardt. He can be reached at Brad.Lenhardt at state.or.us or 503-947-5755. Feel free to contact him if you have questions. Thanks for all you do on behalf of students with disabilities. Sarah Drinkwater -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
