Congress
Extends the QZAB Program for 2008 and 2009
Now that the QZAB two year extension bill has been enacted into law,
the Treasury awaits receipt
from OMB the latest child population poverty census data which will serve
as the basis for allocating
the $400 million each that will be allocated to the 50 states and territories
for 2008 and 2009.
It is expected that this work will be completed within the next month
or two.
Although many states wait for the U.S. Secretary of Education to send
a letter to the
Chief State School Official notifying him/her of the state QZAB allocation,
once IRS publishes the allocation table, it is possible for states to
post their request for QZAB applications. As soon IRS notifies us of the
State Allocations, we will post the table on our website, www.qzab.org
Please feel free to contact Dr. Laurence Peters (the first director
of the QZAB program at the U.S. Department of Education and author of
many QZAB directives) at 703-823-9999 if you have any questions. You can also email at qzab@qzab.org
