Grant Extension for adult basic education

---

The 2008-2009 Grant Extension Process Now Is Open Now and Must Be Completed by 8 a.m. May 19, 2008.

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998, Title II of which authorizes the federal Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), expired five years ago. Neither WIA nor AEFLA has been reauthorized by Congress. We negotiated a one-year extension of our state plan for adult education with the U.S. Department of Education in order to be able to receive and distribute federal adult education funds. As part of that process, we are authorized to extend existing Adult Basic Education (ABE) grants for another year, too.

There will be no new RFP (Request for Proposals); rather, all currently approved Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs are eligible for a one-year continuation of their current grant awards.

The Online Grant Management System (OGMS) now is available to request that a currently approved ABE grant award be extended for the 2008-2009 Program Year. The Master Application consists of five brief narrative questions (about 1 ½ pages per response), the standard set of budget narrative questions, and program assurances. Please Note: the narrative responses MUST address each of your currently approved ABE grant awards that you want to continue operating for the coming year. You will complete a separate budget application, however, for each separate grant award.
