Wild Ride Ahead Workshop Offered by Edunomics
Based on high demand, Edunomics Lab at Georgetown University will be offering another cohort of Wild Ride Ahead: A Workshop on District Finances Post ESSER. The live virtual training is designed to get board members and district leaders up to speed on what looks to be a very messy budget season. Participants will consider how to develop and weigh different options for budget cuts, invest in a way that is financially sustainable and transparent, enhance equity in the short and long term, and build trust by engaging communities in financial choices.
Sessions will take place virtually 12-2 pm ET on Dec 5-8; participants attend all four sessions. More info here.

Special Programs Enrollment in PowerSchool for OLR: PRCs 188 and 189
For 2023-2024, we are transitioning to data collection for PRC 188 and 189 within PowerSchool.
As a reminder, you will now input all student participation and attendance for these programs into PowerSchool. You will no longer need to turn in the Student and Staff Participation and Attendance Spreadsheet to the eMFTS server. Please use the following Quick Reference Document for further information. The Enrolling Students in a Student Program QRD will also be helpful in navigating this new process.
PRC 189 programs are academic year programs. Therefore, all student data must be entered by June 30, 2024. All data for PRC 188 (Summer Career Accelerator) Programs must be entered by September 30, 2024.
Please Note: If you ran PRC 189 programs during SY22-23, you must still upload your student and staff participation survey to the eMFTS survey by NOVEMBER 2, 2023. Please refer to the guidance document for more information.
If you have questions, please reach out to ARP Administrator, Richard Lewis at Richard.lewis@dpi.nc.gov.

Need Tutors for your PRC 189 or other Tutoring Program? Check out NC Virtual Public School’s EdVantage Tutoring Program!
Remember, at least part of your PRC 189 program must include in-person instruction or enrichment. However, as outlined in our FAQs in the PRC 189 Guidance Document, it is allowable to use virtual tutoring services. The EdVantage Program is an NCVPS program that offers a great option for districts and schools that are having difficulty staffing their tutoring programs. More information about the program is below:
Another exciting and highly beneficial semester of Edvantage Tutoring is being offered by North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS).
