Pugsley, Director, DAEL Office of Vocational and Adult Education Editor: Sarah Newcomb Production: Rose Tilghman October 18, 2001 ___________________________________ Appropriations Still Pending The next step in the appropriations process is Senate approval. The Committee indicated the bill is expected to reach the Floor within a week or so. New Deputy, Special Assistant For OVAE Assistant Secretary Carol D'Amico recently announced that Hans Meeder will become OVAE's Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Planning beginning October 21, and that recently arrived Anne Campbell is serving as Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary. Meeder will focus on policy, research and legislative matters. Rob Muller will continue as Deputy Assistant Secretary with a focus on program management and operations. Meeder comes from the National Alliance of Business where he served as Senior Vice President for Workforce Development. He directed work building school/business partnerships, strengthening community colleges' roles in training and economic development, addressing skill shortages in information technology, and promoting e-learning. Campbell comes to OVAE from a Washington political consulting firm that provides strategic advice on a wide range of issues. Annual Report Deadline Dec. 31 State Directors: be aware that the deadline for submitting Annual Performance Reports for 2000-01 is December 31, 2001. Mailed reports will be accepted as meeting the deadline based on the postmark date. Reports delivered by FedEx, UPS or other service will be accepted based on the date shipped. What if your state does not meet the deadline? We anticipate that states not submitting all the required information--including performance information--by December 31 will not be considered for Workforce Investment Act incentive awards which are based on a state's performance in Title I, Title II and Vocational Education. Missing this deadline would make the whole state ineligible for incentive awards. DC Rolls Out Winnebago Lab The District of Columbia's state education agency "rolled out" its new literacy outreach tool October 17--a 37-foot Winnebago loaded with high tech tools for literacy training and teacher professional development. Nicknamed "The Transformer," it offers 12 networked computers, high definition television and other literacy tools. It will serve as an extension of the state literacy resource center.
