It is with a very heavy heart this morning that I read about the national disaster in Haiti. With tens of thousands of lives lost in the impoverished Caribbean nation, I am reeling over the devastation caused by the 7.3 earthquake. Approximately 850,000 -1 million people living in the United States are of Haitian descent and of those about ½ million speak Haitian Creole. My thoughts and well wishes go out to all Haitians and their families across the world today.
Sincerely,
Maggie

Haitian Earthquake Disaster
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Budgeting for Education Translation: Don’t Forget Governmental Compliance and Federal Funding
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
In order to stay in compliance with some specific federal and state regulations such as NCLB and Title III requirements, not to mention any conditions agreed upon by accepting some governmental grants and funds, there are some documents that your school district should figure into the budget right off the bat.
Every state and school district has unique translation requirements however there are certain documents such as AYP (Annual Yearly Progress), Home Language Surveys or school registration forms that are more frequently required than other materials. Often, translations of specific documents are a prerequisite to receive federal or state funding. For example, assessment results such as AYP, including translated versions, must be sent to families 15 days in advance of school starting as mandated by Title I.
These types of education publications should automatically be incorporated into the annual translation budget so that your school district doesn’t run into any surprises six months into the school year.
Keep Learning!
Maggie
