On Thursday, February 10, 2011, a training session to assist districts in completing a Project Abstract for the 2012 Perkins Reserve Competitive Funds will be held. The session will also be recorded and archived for those unable to participate next Thursday.
A troubleshooting session will start at 1:30 p.m. on February 10th for 30 minutes to test the connection before the scheduled meeting at 2:00 p.m. The session is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. delivery. There is a LiveMedia compatibility test session set for Monday, February 7th, from 3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. for visitors that would like to test their systems with KSDE's. It is recommended that those unfamiliar with KSDE's LiveMedia read an information document outlining procedures and requirements to access. Then to ensure that the system is understood, call or connect on Monday to reduce the tech calls that might occur on the event date. There are two methods in which to access the LiveMedia website and information document. First method is to go directly to the website, http://www.ksde.org/livemedia. Second method is to go to the following link: http://www.ksde.org/Default.aspx?tabid=249 and scroll down to the blue tab, CTE Administrators Update, Viewing KSDE LiveMedia.
To preview the actual documents outlining the FY 2012 Perkins Reserve Competitive Funds Grant application go to the following website: http://www.ksde.org/Default.aspx?tabid=291 and scroll down to Rigorous Programs of Study. There are two documents: APPLICATION FOR RESERVE COMPETITIVE FUNDS FY 2012 and Project Abstract. The first document, Application for Reserve Competitive Funds, provides a detailed description about the project and its requirements. The second document, Project Abstract, is the actual document that will be completed and submitted to our office by March 15, 2011.
There is no registration for the LiveMedia presentation on Thursday, February 10, 2011. All interested parties are welcome.
If there are questions about the FY 2012 Perkins Reserve Competitive Funds, please contact Karmey Olson at 785-296-2883 or kolson@ksde.org.
