News Flash:
We are very pleased to update you on the latest PEP information. Just hours before adjourning for the year, the 107th U.S. Congress authorized and appropriated $50 million for PEP for fiscal year 2002 as part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Reauthorization conference report (HR 1 No Child Left Behind Act of 2001). President George W. Bush is expected to sign this education bill into law. NASPE would like to thank everyone for their support and encouragement.NASPE will keep you informed as to when the US Department of Education releases the new guidelines and application deadline. Visit our website at www.aahperd.org/naspe for the latest news. Note current USDE information will be revised in the new year. See www.ed.gov/offices/OESE/SDFS/pepgrnts.doc for current PEP grant recipients.
Helping our members prepare quality grant proposals will be a top priority for NASPE in 2002. For instance, we have invited the first PEP grant awardees to present a grants panel at the San Diego convention. Best wishes for a joyous New Year!
