Conference Postponed
The State Title I Conference has been an important venue for providing technical assistance and sharing successful strategies in closing the achievement gap for over 24 years. Unfortunately, the immediate fiscal crisis that the State is facing has overshadowed local and statewide fiscal resources. As such, it is with much consideration of the current circumstances that the California Department of Education (CDE) must announce that the 2009 State Title I Conference scheduled for April 27-28, 2009, has been postponed until later in the year. We appreciate the effort presenters and local school districts contributed in planning the Title I Conference. As an alternative to conducting the Title I Conference, my staff is looking into other ways of providing additional technical assistance. You can expect to see more information on this in the near future.
Please note: the Parental Involvement Pre-conference sponsored by the California Parent Center, at San Diego State University Research Foundation titled, “Addressing the Achievement Gap: Using Parental Involvement as a Resource for Increasing Student Achievement,” will still be conducted; however the location has been moved from Anaheim to San Diego. The registration deadline for the Parental Involvement Pre-conference is April 20, 2009. To obtain a copy of the registration form please contact the California Parent Center at 619-594-4756 with specific questions regarding the Pre-conference. You may also visit the California Parent Center’s (Outside Source) Web site for more details regarding the change in venue. The Title I Academic Achievement Awards ceremony will be held at the Anaheim Marriott Hotel on April 28, 2009, as planned. You will be notified by e-mail from the Awards Unit next week with further details.
Thank you for your understanding during these challenging times.
