Dear Mr. Daniell Whittington,
We're pleased to provide funds to support your English as a Second Language program and the important work that you, your staff, and your volunteers do for your community through the California Library Literacy Services program.
In 2021-2022, the state budget included one-time California Library Literacy Services funding at $15 million for English as Second Language Services. These funds will be allocated over a five-year period. This award letter covers Year 3 of funding between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024.
Your total award for the 2023-2024 fiscal year beginning July 1, 2023, is:
• Total Award: $81,648
Your funds must be fully expended by June 30, 2024, in accordance with your approved budget on file with the State Library. The budget listed in your award packet indicates your original grant request. Your library may have to submit a new budget for review and approval to reflect your 2023-2024 English as a Second Language Services award.
