RE: Grant Amendments
Dear Dr. Turner:
The Coppell Education Development Corporation (CEDC) regular session on November 13 to review
requests for grant amendments submitted by CISD. The following were approved: An amendment to
add $39,429 to Grant No. 2002 -E01 regarding English as a Second Language. The new amount for that
grant will be $732,429. The second amendment approved was for No. 2002 -SO1 to provide Spanish
teachers in the elementary schools. This represents an increase of $10,473 bringing the total grant
amount to $199,473. The final grant amendment approved was to No. 2002 -L02 for Literacy
Intervention Support and represented an addition of $50,391. The new total amount for the grant is
$446,391.
The only portion of an amendment not approved was the request for an additional one -half position at
CMS West under the English as a Second Language Grant. The reason behind the denial as discussed
at the meeting included the fact that the CEDC felt amendments should be made only for existing
personnel, and possibly materials in unique situations.
If you have any questions regarding the CEDC's actions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
