Arkansas Code annotated 6-16-603 and 6-16-604 (Repl. 1993) mandates that a College Enrichment Program (CPEP) be made available for eleventh and twelfth grade students scoring below 19 on the ACT test. The attached form is to be used by superintendents to indicate participation in CPEP 2004. School districts may operate independently; establish a consortium with a neighboring district(s); assign funds to the area education service cooperative or higher education institution. All funds MUST be spent for the operation of CPEP or returned to the state.

Funds for the 2004 summer remedial program will be distributed to school districts based on a poverty index calculated for the percentage of free/reduced meals. Superintendents will be notified of the funding allocation for the district by the middle of April. When making plans for CPEP, schools are encouraged to remain within their allocated amount. School districts, consortia, area education service cooperatives, or higher education institutions designated as service area sites that exceed their allotment will not be reimbursed. CPEP Rules may be found on the Department of Education website under Rules -http://arkedu.state.ar.us

THE ATTACHED FORM MUST BE RETURNED NO LATER THAN MARCH 31, 2004.

Confirmation of Participation and the CPEP Statement of Assurance forms will be mailed to the Project Director indicated on the Intent Participate Form.
