[YEP-DC] Chance to comment on new U.S. Department of Education program - PROMISE

The U.S. Department of Education posted a Public Input Notice (PIN) at www.ed.gov/PROMISE inviting interested persons and organizations to provide input on a new competitive grant program, Promoting Readiness of Minors in Supplemental Security Income (PROMISE).  The purpose of this program is to fund model demonstration projects of between $4.5 and 10 million in States to promote improved outcomes for children who receive SSI and their families.  Under this program, projects must form strong and effective partnerships among State agencies responsible for programs that play a key role in providing services to child SSI recipients and their families and provide coordinated services and supports designed to improve the education and employment outcomes of child SSI recipients and their families.

Governors' offices, the State agencies identified as required partners in the Public Input Notice (this includes state education agencies), and other organizations and agencies that may be interested in participating in partnerships are particularly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Public Input Notice posted at www.ed.gov/PROMISE and provide written comments on the Public Input Notice.  Note that the Department will not be undertaking formal rulemaking on the priority to be used for the PROMISE competition so this opportunity to comment on the Public Input Notice is the only opportunity the public will have to provide feedback on the proposed requirements for this competition.  

Public Input Notice:  See details and submit comments until 5:00 PM EDT on March 17, 2013 at: www.ed.gov/PROMISE.  The Department will take submitted comments into account as it prepares the application notice for this competition.
