* Magnet School grant was achieved via a combined effort of hiring a professional grant writer, submitting a strong application, holding regular meetings w/ U.S. Department of Education Magnet School program officer, reviewing past successful grants, attending Magnet Schools Association of America (MSAAM) annual conference and grant planning sessions, gaining the support of Illinois/Chicagocongressional members and members of the Education and Workforce Committee, and appropriations committee for the submission of support letters on behalf of CPS, facilitating Rep. Jackson as keynote speaker at MSAAM annual conference luncheon, and facilitating his submission of a funding request to appropriations committee to reallocate end-of-year un-obligated funds to the Magnet Schools Assistance Program budget line to increase the number of grant awards from 50 to 60.

**Funding for Academy for Urban School Leadership was earmarked in the appropriations for the Department of Transportation, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, District of Columbia, and Independent Agencies for the Chicago Public Building Commission to benefit the Chicago Public Schools. There were no fiscal year 2006 earmarks in the Labor/HHS/Education appropriations bill due to low overall funding levels in the base bill.

***TRIO/Talent Search funding was a direct result of changing a provision of the Higher Ed Act to allow school districts to become direct recipients of grant funding for such programs.
