Pugsley, Director, DAEL Office of Vocational and Adult Education Editor: Sarah Newcomb Production: Rose Tilghman February 3, 2000 ___________________________________ Allotment Tables Set to Go States are slated to receive their estimated FY 00 adult education state grant allotment tables early next week. Tables do not include distribution of amounts reserved for integrated English literacy and civics education services under the terms of the FY 00 appropriations bill. The appropriations legislation specifies these funds, amounting to $25.5 million, must be distributed on a different formula. Half of the funds must be allocated to states with the largest absolute need for such services and half allocated to states with the largest recent growth in need for such services. We still are working on the formula for the EL/civics funding. Also not included in the chart is 1.72% targeted to incentive awards. Contact jon_weintraub@ed.gov 164 Apply for $7M for EL/Civics The English Literacy/Civics Education program received 164 applications for just $7 million in FY 99 funds expected to support a limited number of three-year demonstration projects. Funded applicants will demonstrate innovative ways to provide English literacy/civics education--such as integrating technology into the curriculum--how to build effective strategies for professional development, and how to create curriculum and assessment techniques in this emerging instructional area. Grants will be announced this spring. Funds for FY 00 for English literacy/civics education will be distributed on a formula (See above).
