Dear Jane Pratt:
We're pleased to provide funds to support your English as a Second Language program and the important work that you, your California Library Literacy Services program, your staff, and your volunteers do in your community.
The state budget has 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 Round I of funding, between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2022. We anticipate that funding for 2022-2023 and subsequent years will be included with your regular CLLS award.
Your total award for the portion of the 2021-2022 fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022, is:
• Total Award: $21700
Your funds must be fully expended by June 30, 2022, in accordance with your approved budget on file with the State Library.
Please be sure your program expenditures are consistent with the California Library Literacy Services allowable and unallowable costs guide. If you have any questions about expending your funds, please reach out to Allyson Jeffredo at [email protected].
We strongly encourage your program staff to develop and maintain community partners to strengthen your program, attend regular regional library literacy network meetings, participate in your local Adult Education Consortium, and participate in library literacy training opportunities offered by the State Library and the regional networks.
The payment process begins when we receive your completed and signed claim and certification forms (attached). All formns should be completed using DocuSign to be processed for payment.
Our library literacy staff is available to assist you throughout the year. Your Advisor is Beverly Schwartzberg, [email protected], and your Grant Monitor is Allyson Jeffredo, [email protected]. Please contact them with any questions.
Thank you for your willingness to do so much for those in need. Best wishes for a successful year.
Respectfully yours,
