These include: LEA and school administrators, teachers, parents, and other members of community organizations. The OSSE requests that you consider applying to the State Title III Advisory Committee and distribute this application form widely to other potential interested individuals.

 

All application and information materials can be found at the OSSE website here, including the benefits and responsibilities of becoming an advisory member.  Completed applications (2 pages) must be submitted, accompanied by a current resumé electronically to osse.title3@dc.gov (Subject Line: STAC Application).

 

The deadline for the submission of applications is Friday, January 16, 2015.

 

The first meeting for all individuals selected to serve on the State Title III Advisory Committee will be on Wednesday, January 21, from 4:00 to 6:30PM at 810 First Street NE, 8^th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20002.
