Notification and Request for Comments
from Jefferson City Schools
The Jefferson City School System is requesting a one-year waiver from the
Georgia Department of Education (GADOE) and the U.S. Department of Education
(US ED) regarding Title I, Part A requirements that are affected by the availability
of Title I, Part A-ARRA funds. The system will be seeking waiver permission for
the following:
• Waiver of the maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement for an LEA that the
SEA has determined, in accordance with ESEA section 9521; 34
C.F.R.§299.5, failed to maintain effort.
In the case of a waiver request submitted by a school system, prior to submitting
its request, the system must provide all interested citizens residing in the Jefferson
City Schools attendance areas with notice and reasonable opportunity to comment
on the request (ESEA section 9401 (b)(3)(A)(i)). The school system must submit all
comments it receives from those citizens to the Georgia Department of Education
along with its waiver request (ESEA section 9401 (b)(3)(A)(ii)). The Georgia
Department of Education will consider these comments when determining whether
to grant the waiver request. The system must also provide notice and information
regarding the waiver request to the public in the manner in which the system
customarily provides such notice and information to the public (ESEA section
9401 (b)(3)(A)(iii)), such as through a public website.
In addition, a system seeking a waiver must submit evidence that it has complied
with the notice-and-comment requirements for a waiver request and must submit
any comments it receives through the notice-and-comment process to the Georgia
Department of Education, as well. In the case of a waiver request to be submitted
to the Secretary, through the Georgia Department of Education, by a school
system, the request must be reviewed by the system and be accompanied by the
comments, if any, of the Georgia Department of Education (ESEA section
9401 (b)(3)(B)(i)). The Secretary will consider these comments when determining
whether to grant the waiver request. In addition, the system requesting the waiver
must provide notice and information regarding the waiver request to the public in a
manner in which the system customarily provides similar notice and information to
the public (ESEA section 9401 (b)(3)(B)(ii)).
In order for Jefferson City Schools to have time to review comments from district
stakeholders, the system is asking that you submit your comments no later than
March 19, 2010. Comments may be submitted to Dr. Donna R. McMullan,
Associate Superintendent/Title I Director at dmcmullan @ ieffcitvschools.org. If you
