TO THE ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESSED:
SUBJECT: Standard Application System (SAS-A268-01) and Entitlement for the Emergency Immigrant Education Program (EIEP) for Project Year 2000-2001
The enclosed materials are for use in requesting Title VII, Part C funds for the 2000-2001 school year. Two (2) copies of the Standard Application System for the Emergency Immigrant Education Program (Form SAS-A268-01) with one (1) copy of the Administrator's Guide governing this program are enclosed. Also, enclosed please find the notification showing the 2000-2001 Entitlement for your project, as well as the data reports from PEIMS that may be used in completing Schedules #4A and #4B of the application.
Entitlements were calculated using the Fall 1999 PEIMS student data and/or any changes your district may have submitted to the Texas Education Agency. Please note that there are many critical dates that must be met for submitting the original SAS-A268-01, amendments to the SAS-A268-00, and the Final Expenditure Reports for the project year 1999-00.
The Agency is seeking to provide greater freedom, latitude and flexibility to local school districts in meeting the goals of education reform, while continuing to hold districts accountable for the results of their efforts. The Division of Migrant Education is utilizing this flexibility to emphasize the goal of achieving academic excellence and equity for all immigrant students. The application process is an important part of providing high quality programs to achieve this goal.
Information and assistance regarding the EIEP application SAS-A268-01 is available through the Agency's Division of Migrant Education. If you have any questions, please contact Andrea Barrera at (512) 463-9067.
Thank you for your invaluable support and assistance and for your commitment to excellence and equity in the education of the immigrant children of Texas.
Sincerely,
Carol V. Francois
Associate Commissioner for the Education of Special Populations
