<div><b>RE: Extended Assessment Sub Grants</b></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The funding for the Extended Assessment sub 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 sub grants are flat funded this year,
meaning you will be receiving about the same amount of funds as last year. 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<font color="#1F497D"> </font>in that effort. The grant notification has been sent to your superintendent and/or business manager. </div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2" color="#1F497D"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div>The grant manager for the Extended Assessment sub grants is Brad Lenhardt. He can be reached at <a href="mailto:Brad.Lenhardt@state.or.us"><font color="blue"><u>Brad.Lenhardt@state.or.us</u></font></a><font color="#1F497D"> </font>or<font color="#1F497D">

<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for all you do on behalf of students with disabilities. </div>
