Announcements for April 7, 2009 Week 22

Budget Cuts Affect ACE

Unfortunately, ACE will not be receiving full funding for the school year after all. Our budget cut is approximately $9000. In order to compensate for this shortfall, the ACE Board voted to take the following measures, effective immediately:

1) Tutoring hours: each student will have a maximum of 9 hours remaining until June 30. You may work with your tutor to spread these hours out for the next three months or may use them up in April and May if mutually agreed upon.

2) Mentorship: $50 is being deducted from each student's accounts.

We are looking at other ways we can cut funding and will keep you apprised if anything changes. Thanks for understanding!

Health Standards

It's time to start turning in your Health Standards paperwork! If you need another copy, please sign up at the front table. A copy will then be placed in your mailbox next week.

Academic Dean's Available

Academic Deans will be available to schedule meetings for ½ hour following their last Tuesday class. Please contact your AD to schedule a conference or just to ask questions.
