DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
[CFDA No. 84.363A]
School Leadership Program
AGENCY: Office of Innovation and
Improvement, Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of intent to fund down
the fiscal year (FY) 2008 grant slate for
the School Leadership Program.
SUMMARY: The Secretary intends to use
the grant slate developed in FY 2008 for
the School Leadership Program
authorized by Title II, part A, subpart 5
of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965, as amended, to
make new grant awards in FY 2009. The
Secretary takes this action because a
significant number of high-quality
applications remain on last year’s grant
slate. We expect to use an estimated $3
million for new awards in FY 2009. The
actual level of funding depends on the
amount of FY 2009 program funds that
are available after the Department makes
22 expected continuation awards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department published a notice
inviting applications for new School
Leadership Program awards for FY 2008
in the Federal Register on March 3,
2008 (73 FR 11504).
In response to the March 3 notice
inviting applications, we received a
significant number of high-quality
applications and made 22 new grant
awards. However, many applications
that were awarded high scores by peer
reviewers did not receive funding in FY
2008 because of insufficient
appropriations.
The Department’s FY 2009
appropriation is sufficient to permit the
Department to make continuation
awards to each of these 22 grantees and
make a small number of new School
Leadership Program awards. Rather than
using program funds for a new peer
review process, the Department has
decided to use the remaining funds
(after continuation awards are made) to
select grantees in FY 2009 from the
existing slate of applications. This slate
was developed during the FY 2008
competition using the selection criteria,
application requirements, and
definitions referenced in the March 3
notice inviting applications (73 FR
11504).
Note: To be eligible to receive a grant
under this notice all applicants being
considered for funding must meet all
statutory eligibility criteria (i.e., be a highneed LEA, a consortium of high-need LEAs,
or a partnership that includes one or more
high-need LEAs), and be able to demonstrate
a commitment to implement the scope and
objectives of the project proposed in the
application submitted in 2008. Only
applications from the 2008 slate will be
considered. Our intent is to fund down the
slate from the last 2008 funded application
until available funds are exhausted.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 6651(b).

BILLING CODE 4000–01–P
ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION
Notice of Sunshine Act Notice
AGENCY: U.S. Election Assistance
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of Virtual Public Forum
for EAC Board of Advisors.
DATE AND TIME: Monday, May 11, 2009,
9 a.m. EDT through Friday, May 15,
2009, 9 p.m. EDT.
PLACE: EAC Board of Advisors Virtual
Meeting Room at www.eac.gov. Once at
the main page of EAC’s Web site,
viewers should click the link to the
Board of Advisors Virtual Meeting
Room. The virtual meeting room will
open on Monday, May 11, 2009, at 9
a.m. EDT and will close on Friday, May
15, 2009, at 9 P.M. EDT. The site will
be available 24 hours per day during
that 5-day period.
PURPOSE: The EAC Board of Advisors
will review and provide comment on
Phase I of the draft Election Operations
Assessment. Phase I of the project is an
information gathering and modeling
phase designed to create the framework
for the remaining two phases of the
project. The scope of the document and
the project that created it are geared
toward the procedures and equipment
that move the ballot through the
electoral process. The end goal of the
election operations assessment is to
create a work product that will allow
the EAC to evaluate security risks to
various types of voting systems (i.e.
hand counted paper ballots, Precinct
Based Optical Scan, or Remote
Electronic Systems, etc.) and in order to
better inform their work with future
iterations of the Voluntary Voting
System Guidelines. In addition, the
assessment will allow policy makers
and election officials to assess the
potential risks to systems that they are
looking to purchase in the future.
