RE:      Funding for Extended Assessment Trainings

Very soon you will be getting a notice regarding the funding for the
Extended Assessment trainings.  This year each district or ESD will get
funds calculated predominantly on the Special Education Child Count per
district. Funds are calculated based on a formula of one trainer per 800
students in child count (note: not all students in child count are
assessed with the Extended Assessment). For districts with less than 270
students in their child count, funds are allocated to the ESD for the
training of itinerant trainers. Special consideration was given to
districts with a child count over 2,300.  

These funds are to be used by districts to provide teacher training on
the Extended Assessments. If funds remain available following trainings,
these may be expended toward activities that support enhancement of the
assessment of students with disabilities. All funds must be expended by
June 30, 2009. Likewise, allocations made directly to ESDs should be
used toward the assessment of students with disabilities across
districts (depending on need and management of assessments); with
primacy given to costs associated with the Extended Assessments-and with
remaining funds used to support enhancement of the assessment of
students with disabilities across the associated districts.

For further clarification, please contact Dianna Carrizales at

got off to a good start with happy students and a full complement of
staffing!
