Dear Melanie:

 

We have had a very positive response across campus and in our service area to PATHWISE.  We have so great a need that we have already started a waiting list for this fall.  Because of this demand we are submitting a proposal for additional funding for the 2002-2003 school year.  We will plan to offer three two-day trainings in the coming year to meet our needs.  One will be offered in October, one in April and one in June.  We will plan for 40 participants per training.  We would like to propose the attached budget for your consideration.  We greatly appreciate the support that you provide to the improvement of teaching and, ultimately, student learning in Arkansas.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Gwen Morgan
