Ruben Aceves stated that the PIC authorized the release of the State request for application for School -To- Career Projects which were due May 10th. He stated that they received a total of three proposals; NOCCCD, NOCROP, AUHSD. He stated that the P&A Committee in conjunction with the School -To- Career Steering Committee were involved in the review and evaluation process. He stated that there were a total of 6 readers on the panel and at the last P &A meeting, the recommendations were to assign priority #1 to NOCCCD, priority #2 to AUHSD, and priority #3 to NOCROP. The applications are due to the State on May 29, 1996. Ruben stated that on page two of the item is a timeline showing the dates. Larry Slagle asked if there was any reason to believe that we would receive funding for priority 2 &3 and what was the point spread. Ruben stated that the committee and staff felt that all three applications were well written and served a valuable need and in consideration of that, a support letter would also be submitted to the State for their funding if additional funds are available. He also stated that this was a degree of difference between the applications and the committee was comfortable making the priority assignments. There was about a 30 point difference between the three applications. Dianne Edwards asked if we were required to prioritize and if not did we make them less competitive by prioritizing rather than submitting them without prioritization. Ruben stated that it was not a requirement to prioritize but an option. The PIC elected to adopt that option at the last PIC meeting to give local control to the PIC in terms of what our community needs are instead of leaving it up to the State to decide.
