Background | California English Language Development Test [http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/el/] |
Fiscal | Unavailable |
Other | Contract funding is contingent upon yearly appropriation in the annual Budget Act. Previously, CDE has been appropriated $12,000,000 per fiscal year. CDE anticipates an increase in funding of up to $3,000,000 per fiscal year to accommodate changes in the scope of work. The money is appropriated for entire fiscal years; therefore, the entire fiscal year funding is not available for this contract in 2005-06 or 2009-10 due to overlapping contracts. |
