What is the appropriate federal role for supporting institutions and students including appropriate oversight of federal dollars? What are your short and long-term goals relative to higher education policy? Comments on the administration's FY18 budget and the goals. The APLU Council of Presidents will not be scripted with prepared questions. However, we wouldn't be surprised if the following issues came up : Concerns with the administration's FY18budget proposal Direction of the Office for Civil Rights Position on the College Transparency Act (APLUwas deeply engaged with the senate sponsors in crafting the bill and strongly supports it) Protecting students from the worst performers in higher ed (institutional accountability) Potential to move student loan portfolio to Treasury Support for liberal arts programs and four year degrees generally as well as career training Federal policy to encourage states to reinvest in public higher education (federal state partnership) Also, right now, I have changed the agenda so that there is no overlap between Secretary Acosta and Secretary DeVos. In doing so, Secretary Acosta is slotted to speak from 11:30am -12: 10pm and then Secretary DeVos from 12:10 -12:S0pm . Can you confirm this would be okay for her?

There will be cake! Let's celebrate a record-breaking campaign. With your help , ED achieved incredible results for charities and causes in desperate need of resources. ED's 2016 Combined Federal Campaign raised over $535K, well above our $515K dollar goal. The last time ED achieved its dollar goal was 4 years ago in 2012! We wanted to see at least 35% of the Department participate in the 2016 campaign. Amazingly , over 35% of ED contributed, a 5 percentage point increase over 2015 's participation rate-more than double the increase warranting special recognition from the national campaign. The ED family demonstrated remarkable generosity. We outperformed the overall campaign on several fronts , including% toward dollar goal, participation rate, avg. donation, and avg. gift per capita. Go ED. Now let's celebrate! For people outside of an ED building , watch the event here: https ://edstream .ed .gov/web cast/ Play/7cfd8065e8e44 1a0b9273a3de92bda cf1d.

As a result, I'd like to see if we can move your meeting with the TAFs/PAFsfrom this afternoon to tomorrow morning so you have a chance to meet all the Fellows. As luck would have it, the scheduling assistant feature of Out look isn't working this morning, so I'm taking a shot in the dark at whether or not this time slot will work for you. If it doesn't, please let me know if there is a time that might work better . We have meetings we can't move tomorrow from 10:30-11 (Secretary DeVos) and from 1-1:45 (Jason Botel), and we have to wrap-up by 4 PM in order for part-time Fellows to make it to the airport for flights. However, beyond those constraints, we would gladly work to fit whatever is best for your schedule. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience and change in plans.

For convenience, I am attaching it to this message. The document, as well as all information about the consolidated State plans, is available on our website here . As we mentioned in our webinar last week, this document focuses on these three programs because the peer review of the consolidated State plans will include only these three programs, which the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), requires to be peer reviewed. For all other sections of the consolidated State plans, Department staff will review the State's submission. This document aligns with the Revised State Template for the Consolidated State Plan that was released on March 13, 2017. The State Plan Peer Review Criteria is intended to help ensure that each State submits a complete State plan and to help guide the peer reviewers in making recommendations to the Secretary as to whether each State pla n meets the requirements in the Revised State Template.for the Consolidated State Plan for those programs that are subject to peer review. The document presents each of the requirements in the Revised State Template for the Consolidated State Plan in the form of questions, broken down into smaller segments than the requirements in the template. In this way, States can more easily check if they have met all of the requirements and peers can evaluate whether each State has met all of the requirements . We have scheduled a webinar later this week to walk through the State Plan Peer Review Criteria. Please use the link below to access this week's webinar. Webinar: State Plan Peer Review Criteria Thursday, March 30, 2017, 2:00-3:30 PM ET Access the webinar here . Please direct any questions to your contact in the Office of State Support at OSS.(State name]@ed.gov (e.g., OSS .NewHampshire@ed.gov ). Thank you again for the hard work I know you are doing to transition to the ESSA.

John relayed the message to Secretary DeVos who said she would love to meet with us. {Joshua, Tim and I lead the school choice team at the Institute for Justice, where we help design and defend school choice programs passed by the states. IJ is a public-interest law firm that has been doing this for some 25 years. We have a long history of working with AFC.) Now that some of the smoke has settled we want to follow up and if possible arrange a brief meeting of a half hour or so-whatever the secretary's schedule permits . John said the two were the people to contact. Tim lives in Arizona and is head of our office there, as well as our point person on all the ESAlegislation that has been introduced in the state legislatures, and would be flying to DCto attend the meeting . So I wanted to offer a bunch of possible dates to you to expedite the process. We recognize, of course, that the Secretary is very busy. As of now, a t ime in the following dates would work for us: March 13-21, March 27-30, April 3-5, and April 10-18. Both of us have several active cases, which could affect our schedules, and Tim is going to be in town for the Trinity Lutheran oral argument slated for April 19th at the U.S. Supreme Court. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

I'm reaching out to introduce you to Chris Schiavone, cc'd here. As Jenn Oribello shared during the introduction to coaching phone briefing on April 21st, we're connecting you with Chris to have an introductory phone conversation about your coaching interests, and anything you'd like to ask Chris about her approach to working with clients. Attached is a copy of your intake form . Client Next Steps: • Please contact Chris to schedule your 30 minute introductory phone call within the next two to three weeks . You may schedule directly with Chris or connect her with any support staff that can assist with scheduling . • Email me to confirm that you've held your introductory call with Chris. I'll confirm if you'd like to move forward with your first coach option or if you would prefer to be introduced to a second coach before making your decision. • Once we've confirmed your coach decision, you'll be able to schedule coaching sessions with your coach moving forward. To summarize the coaching program as we discussed during the phone briefing: • Coaching is confidential between coach and client • Coaching can take place via phone or in person, pending coach and client preference . • Our coaching clients typ ically set aside an hour per week, consecutive weeks of coaching sessions are ideal whenever possible. • Based on the number of clients interested in coaching, we can offer up to six hours of coaching with each client in the Executive Development Program. Pending the demand for our other grant services, there may be the potential to extend coaching support beyond six hours. • All coaching clients will receive an anonymous, online survey about their coaching services following the completion of your program. The data we report to our foundation partners are unattributed, aggregate themes about the collective coaching experience of our clients. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Please submit your application at least 60 days prior to your retirement date.

Robert 28 7/19/2017 5:59 PM ED-17-0091, ED-17-0092-C-000028 April OS, 2017 Continued Wednesday the opportunity to speak with you about stakeholder engagement under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)and the Department's recently revised ESSA Consolidated State Plan Temp late. As you may have seen, we released a st atement on Monday expressing our disappointment that the requirement to describe stakeholder engagement in the state plan template was removed. I have attached the statement to this email for your reference. Robust and effective stakeholder engagement at the state level in the development of state education plans is of utmost importance for the successful implementation of the law and to ensure parents have the power to make decisions about their child's education. I have copied Cynthia Gismegian, Nathan's executive assistant on this email to facilitate an in person meeting if possible next week. I understand that you are extremely busy, so if an in person meeting is not possible, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you via phone. Thank you again for your time and attendance at National PTA's Legislative Conference. We look forward to work ing with you!

Below is some information from ED Suzanne Tacheny Kubach about the meeting . I spoke with Suzanne briefly today, and she assured me that all attendees of these meetings always understand that comments made are confidential and only for folks in the room. Please let me know whether you think it is okay for me to attend. Thanks! » The meeting will take place from noon on Thursday, February 23 to noon on Friday, February 24, 2017 at the W Hotel in Washington, D.C. We are hopeful you can join us on Thursday afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. for a conversation with state level advocates for education reform about education policy priorities in the upcoming months and years, including ESSAand other issues you anticipate advancing. In part icular, advocate will want to know about possible adjustments to ESSA(92% of Network members indicate that they are working on related issues) and any anticipated new policy from the federal level affecting K-12 schooling. We also are final izing our annual Network priorities survey, which we'd be happy to share with you shortly. More on PIE Network: The PIE Network was founded in recognition of the crucial roles that states play in advancing and defending education reform policies. We've proven the power of citizen -backed organizations that bring essential voices to the education policymaking process in their state capitols. Since our first meeting in 2007 connecting 15 advocates from a dozen states, the Network had grown steadily to now connect 77 organizations working in 34 states and D.C. with one another and with partners from 20 national organizations. Annual surveys of members tell us that consistently, the Network's member organizations are working to advance policy that ensures strong charters and the flex ibility for innovation, provisions for teacher quality, and sensible systems for accountability .

Since you were appointed to the position of Schedule C between January 20, 2017 and January 23, 2017, you are required to complete an OGE Form 278 no later than February 22, 2017. You should contact the Ethics Division in the Office of the General Counsel, if you do not expect to serve in this position for at least 60 days in a calendar year. If you are not expected to serve in this position for at least 60 days, you may not be required to file an OGE Form 278. You may request an extension of up to 45 additional days from the Ethics Division to file and complete the OGE Form 278. The U.S. Department of Education (Department) is currently using an efiling system, called INTEGRITY.gov , which is hosted in a secure Government cloud, works with modern Internet browsers, and operates on the 0MB Max.gov platform. For more information about 0MB Max.gov, please visit: https://max .omb. qov/maxportal/home .action/ On April 4, 2012 the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act (STOCK Act) was signed into law and it added requirements to the Financial Disclosure System as mandated by the Act. Specifically, Section 6 of the STOCK Act also requires that employees who are required to complete an OGE Form 278 must now report transactions involving securities on an ongoing basis. Pursuant to this new provision, filers must report transactions the earlier of 30 days after receiving notice of the transaction, or 45 days after the transaction has actually occurred. In addition, filers must also report the transactions of a spouse and/or dependent child. These transactions are to be reported on the OGE Form 278-T. All Department employees who are required to file an OGE Form 278 and/or an OGE Form 278-T must use INTEGRITY.gov to file these reports. To create an account for the electronic filing of your OGE Form 278 and/or OGE Form 278-T , go to https://lnteqritv.gov . To log in, type your "user-name", which is your Department "ed.gov" email address and click the link that says "Forgot, set, or change your password ". You will be redirected to set up your 0MB Max.gov password. As noted above, 0MB Botel, Jason 75 7/20/ 2017 5:31 PM ED-17-0091, ED-17-0092-C-000264 March 07, 2017 Continued Tuesday Max.gov is the operating platform for INTEGRITY.gov. After completing this process, you may get started on filing your report(s). Please note that if you e-file your report (either the OGE Form 278 or the OGE Form 278- T) more than 30 days past the due date stated above or an extension date, a $200 late filing fee will become due at the time of filing pursuant to section 104(d) of the Act. In addition, the Department is required to refer to the Attorney General the name of any individual when there is reasonable cause to believe that such individual has willfully failed to file a report. The Act also states that any individual who knowingly or willfully falsifies or fails to report the required information may be assessed a civil penalty. If you need an extension to complete your OGE Form 278, OGE Form 278- T or have any questions related to these reporting requirements , please call Taronda Wallace at (202) 205-9314.

I know we've met in previous roles; I'd love to reconnect and find time to talk whenever you have some availability . Additionally, I wanted to flag for you a report we released today - "A Look at Black Student Success"- examining graduation rates for Black students and the completion gap between Black and White students at nonspecialized public and private nonprofit institutions, as well as fouryear, for -profit institutions. You can find the full report here, and highlights of the findings and methodology are below . Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions! Take care, Kelly While the past decade has seen tremendous growth in Black student enrollment, only 41.0 percent of Black stud ents who start college as first -time, full -time freshmen earn a degree within six years - a rate that is 22.0 percentage points below that of their White peers. The report , "A Look at Black Student Success: Identifying Top- and Bottom-Performing Institutions," finds that closing the national completion gap between Black and White students will require simultaneous work from our nation ' s higher education leaders on three fronts : • Addressing inequities in comp letion within individual institutions ; • Changing enrollment patterns so selective institutions with higher graduation rates enroll more Black students; and • Improving completion rates at institutions where Black students are more likely to attend. The data used in this report come from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, or IPEDS,which is a publicly available database that includes data colleges and universities are required to report annually to the U.S. Department of Education. Our analysis specifically uses institution-level graduation rate data for White and Black full-time, bachelor's degree-seeking students who enrolled at an institution for the first time in the fall of 2008 and completed a bachelor' s degree within six years (2014) at that institution. The 2014 graduation rates are the most current rates that are available to th e public (as of December 9, 2016). The report calls out institutions that have low completion rates for Black stud ents and large completion gaps between Black and White students . We also identify institutions with a consistent record of success. To identify universities and colleges in each category, we used 2012, 2013, and 2014 graduation rate data . And we leveraged weighted, three-year averages to account for the impact of year-to -year cohort size differences. The criter ia for the list of top -performers includes institutions that have: • A completion gap between Black and White students at or below 5.0 percentage points; • A graduation rate for Black students at least 10.0 percentage points above the average rate of their peer institutions (as defined in our College Results tool, www.collegeresu lts.org ); • A graduation rate cohort that was at least 5.0 percent Black; and Botel, Jason 89 7/20/ 2017 5:3 1 PM ED-17-0091, ED-17-0092-C-000278 March 13, 2017 Continued Monday • A graduation rate cohort that included at least 100 Black students and 100 White students . The criteria for the list of bottom -performers includes institutions that have: • A completion gap between Black and White students at or above 20.0 percentage points; • A graduation rate for Black students at least 10.0 percentage points below the average rate of their peer institut ions; • A graduation rate cohort at least 5.0 percent Black; and • A graduation rate cohort that included at least 100 Black students and 100 White students.

I am on an airplane preparing to take off so will provide a quick comment and then will follow-up as needed. Stillman College is located in my hometown, Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It is private HBCU,has existed for more than 100 years and is affiliated with he Presbyterian Church. Stillman borrowed money from the HBCUfinancing program I think administered by the DOE, or at least overseen by the DOE,in or around 2012. Stillman has brought a team in that has experience in assisting distressed HBCUs. Importantly, Tuscaloosa is located in the vicinity of the very rural, very poor area known as the "black belt" due to its rich soils in South and Southwest Alabama. Stillman provides an important opportunity for low income students from that area to have accessto higher ed. In short, Stillman will likely need to secure a forebearance agreement with the DOE/HBCUCapital Financing Program in order to have time to stabilize. There is a great deal of local support for Stillman, but the forebearance is critical in order to ease an immed iate cash flow concern. My initial research indicates that the DOE has the authority to enter such a forebearance agreement, but I am unsure of the parameters, Botel, Jason 140 7/20/2017 5:31 PM ED-17-0091, ED-17-0092-C-000329 M arch 29, 2017 Continued Wednesday requirements, etc . While I am visiting DC on other business I hope to have an opportunity to visit with a senior level official that can provide insight into that process and who can assist in a t imely review of the matter (time will be of the essence, unfortunately). Notwithstanding the foregoing, as Chairman of Alabama's education appropriations committee and in light of my corresponding involvement in education policy issues, I would enjoy the opportunity to visit the DOE. Thank you again! And please let me know what additional information is needed and I will share the same between flights t his morning or otherwise as soon as possible.

The ED family demonstrated remarkable generosity.

In the difficult moments in your work life, please remember those adorable sets of eyes staring back at you from underneath the table working on the concept upside downe(my favorite picture from the day). One of our high school students interested in journalism had the entire day to blend into the crowd to cover our big day. She and I may have the opportunity to travel to DC to report our recent event to the AFT executive council May 8-10. Now that you and I both share a common experience. I would love to have further dialogue and see what you were able to digest from your visit to Van Wert City Schools. Please consider my request in the near future as the details of our trip to DC have not been fully established.

If a full hour doesn't work for someone but 30 minutes does, the TAF/PAFteam would love to chat for whatever time you can spare. Thanks! Next week, the full TAF/PAF team will be in town on Thursday and Friday. While they are here, we want to try to find time to meet with all of you to discuss how the team can best support the messaging and outreach efforts of the Department during the remainder of the Fellowship. I'm suggesting 30 minutes of time for discussion because I know your schedules are always so full, but if there is availability and interest in meeting for a full hour, I know the team of Fellows would appreciate the chance to have the conversation.

In addition to the panel, there are many privat e sessions taking place over the course of the conference that are invitation-only that we would be pleased for her to join." -Dianna Dunne, Director of Gov 't Affairs, Milken Institute FOLLOW UP: 3/29/17, Phone Call, 3:15pm EST , Dianna Dunne and Michael Oberlies TIMELINE TO CONFIRM ATIENDANCE: Dianna Dunne (Milken) said they would ideally like to finalize the Secretary's participation in priority events by the end of this week, March 31. Additional events can be confirmed at a later date if need be. PRIORITY EVENTS FOR BDV: Dianna Dunne (Milken) has indicated the following events as a priority for the Secretary's participation at the Conference. Monday, May 1, 2017 12:00PM - 2:00PM : Private Lunch with Education Leader s (Invitation Only, Private Session) (Location: The Beverly Hilton) Description: Hosted by Lowell Milken, this interactive lunch discussion will focus on solution s to challenges in the K-12 and post-secon dary education systems. Milken , founder of the National Instit ute for Excellence in Teaching and co-founder and chairman of the Milken Family Foundation, will join leaders in busine ss and philanthropy for an invitation -only dialogue with some of America's foremost educators, business leaders, philanthropists and government officials. In general, here is what we are thinking for the run of show for this privat e lunch (attended by approximately 70 participants). Lowell Milken will make brief opening remarks, then would introduce the Secretary for her to give remarks. At the conference , the public sess ion format is always panel discussions (not formal remarks) so this lunch would be a good opportunity for her to give 'keynote' remarks before an influential group. After her remarks , Lowell would then moderate a conversation among all attendees . In general, attendees will include university pre sidents, education leaders, business and philanthropic leaders committed to improving education, elected officia ls and some K-12 educators. NOTES: According to Dianna Dunne (Milken), this is a priority for the Secretary's participation. Lowell Milken would give opening remarks then would introduce the Secretary to give "keynote -esque" remarks from behind a podium to the group (the Conference does not contain any actual keynote addresses). Once the Secretary concludes, other speakers would address the group (Gov. Jeb Bush and former Secretary of Education Bill Bennett were given as examples). Simmons, Lee (Doug ie) 22 7/25/2017 10:33 AM ED-17-0091, ED-17-0092-C-000518 April 14, 2017 Continued Friday 2:00PM: Arrive the Speaker Ready Room 2:30PM - 3:30PM: Beverly Hilton) A Conversation with U.S. Education Leaders (Location : The Draft Description: Despite highly visible and well-funded efforts to improve public education in the United States , significant challe nges remain .

Sec. King has not officially confirmed but Dunne said he is expected to attend. ADDITIONAL EVENTS: Dianna Dunne (Milken) has offered the.following events to the Secretary's participation , if she so chooses, but places their importance lower than priority events. Sunday,April30 , 2017 8:30AM - 11:30AM: Family Program (Location: The Beverly Hilton) Description: An annual private gathering with a group of prominent families to discuss some of the most important issues facing them today - from how to seize financial opportunities while navigating turbulent markets to understanding some of the unique complexities involved with the acquisition and transfer of wealth. This interactive discussion offers a select group of individuals, fami lies, and philanthropists information to thought leaders across a variety of topics during an off-the-record roundtable discussion. NOTES: This is a casual event and the Secretary would attend more in a personal capacity rather than in a professional capacity. 12:00PM- 4:00PM: Simmons, Lee (Doug ie) Leaders in Finance: A Conversation to Strengthen America's Economy and Competitiveness with Government and Business Leaders (Location: Private Residence OR The Beverly Hilton, TBA) 23 7/25/2017 10:33 AM ED-17-0091, ED-17-0092-C-000519 April 14, 2017 Continued Friday Description: This annual gathering of leaders at the Global Conference will examine policy priorities and investments that will enhance American competitive ness and drive economic growth. This off the record session allows participants (approx imately 35 individuals) including Members of Congre ss, Administra tion officia ls, and CEOs of leading corporations and financial instit utions to engage in an informative, cand id dialogue. NOTES: Event will be broken down into four , hour long round table-style discussions separated by 10 minute breaks - each hour on a different subject matter. Secretary would not need to stay for the.full.four hours, could come to any combination of subjects she desired. The room would be in conference-style with hollow square setup. Mike Milken is moderating and could introduce the Secretary to give casual remarks to the group (prediscussion) if she desired. 4:30PM - 6:30PM: Private Welcome Recept ion (Location: Beverly Canon Gardens, 225 N. Canon Drive , Beverly Hills, CA 90210) Description: According to Dianna Dunne (Milken) , the space is a luxurious courtyard and attendance is expected at about 600, including many speakers of the conference. The space is roughly a.five minute drive from The Beverly Hilton. No remarks or program , solely a social occasion. 6:30PM - 9:00PM : Private Welcome Dinner (Location: Private Residence TBA) Description: According to Dianna Dunne (Milken ), there will be six separate dinners happening at private homes (all in Beverly Hills).

Attorney General Sessions is the conference's afternoon general session speaker at 3:30 PM, and a number of mayors who want to visit with the Secretary need to be back/or that session.

(b)(6) J Brian Frank will connect. ..,____ __, You will call General Dailey as an introduction ahead of the Women's History Month event at the Air & Space Museum on Tuesday, March 28th. Gen. J.R. "Jack" Dailey , a retired U.S. Marine Corps four star general and pilot, assumed the duties of director of the Smithsonian's Nationa l Air and Space Museum in January 2000. Since assuming his position, Dailey has led efforts to expand the size and scope of the museum and increase public outreach. In 2003, in conjunction with the Centennia l of Flight, the museum opened a second building , the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly , Va. More than 300 aircraft and space artifacts are housed in its two hangars: the Boeing Aviation Hangar and James S. McDonnell Space Hangar. In 2011 , construction was completed on the center's second and final component, a section devoted to preservation and restoration of the museum's collection . Eight major exhibitions have opened in the museum's original building with Dailey at the helm. In support of the Smithsonian's strategic planning efforts, the museum has expanded its public-program, Web and distance-learning activities. Dailey came to the museum from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, where he had been the associate deputy administrator ( 1992-1999 ) since retiring from the U.S. Marine Corps. At NASA , he led the agency's internal operations. His career in the Marine Corps spanned 36 years and included extensive command and staff experience. He has flown more than 7,000 hours in a wide variety of aircraft and helicopters. During two tours in Vietnam, he flew 450 missions.

In addition to the panel, there are many private sessions taking place over the course of the conference that are invitation-only that we would be pleased for her to join." -Dianna Dunne, Director of Gov't Affairs, Milken Institute FOLLOW UP: 3/29/17, Phone Call, 3:15pm EST, Dianna Dunne and Michael Oberlies TIMELINE TO CONFIRM ATTENDANCE: Dianna Dunne (Milken) said they would ideally like to finalize the Secretary's participation in priority events by the end of this Delahunty, Sarah 65 7/25/2017 2:22 PM ED-17-0091, ED-17-0092-C-000663 April 14, 2017 Continued Friday week, March 31. Additional events can be confirmed at a later date if need be. PRIORITY EVEN TS FOR BDV: Dianna Dunne (Milken) has indicated the following events as a priority for the Secretary's participation at the Conference . Monday, May I, 2017 12:00PM - 2:00PM : Private Lunch with Education Leaders (Invitation Only, Private Session) (Location: The Beverly Hilton) Description: Hosted by Lowell Milken, this interactive lunch discussion will focus on solut ions to challe nges in the K-12 and post-secondary education systems. Milken , founder of the Nationa l Institute for Excellence in Teaching and co-fou nder and chairman of the Milken Family Foundation, will join leaders in business and philanthropy for an invitatio n-only dialogue with some of America's foremost educators , business leaders, philanthropists and govern ment offic ials. In general, here is what we are thinking for the mn of show for this private lunch (attended by approximately 70 participants). Lowell Milken will make brief opening remarks, then would introduce the Secretary for her to give remarks. At the conference, the public session format is always panel discussions (not formal remarks) so this lunch would be a good opportunity for her to give 'keynote' remarks before an influential group. After her remarks, Lowell would then moderate a conversation among all atte ndees. In general, attendees will include university presidents, education leaders, business and philanthropic leaders co mmitted to improving educatio n, elected officia ls and some K-12 educators. NOTES: According to Dianna Dunne (Milken), this is a priority for the Secretary's participation . Lowell Milken would give opening remarks then would introduce the Secretary to give "keynote -esque" remarks from behind a podium to the group (the Conference does not contain any actual keynote addresses). Once the Secretary concludes, other speakers would address the group (Gov. Jeb Bush and former Secretary of Education Bill Bennett were given as examples). 2:00PM: Arrive the Speaker Ready Room 2:30PM - 3:30PM: Beverly Hilton) A Co nversatio n with U.S. Education Leaders (Locatio n: The Draft Description: Despite highly visible and well-funded efforts to improve public educa tion in the United States, sign ificant challenges remain. This panel of education experts will tackle tough topics, propose remed ies and ident ify avenues for bus iness and philanthropic leaders to make an impact.

This interactive discussion offers a select group of individuals, families, and philanthropists information to thought leaders across a variety of topics during an off-the-record roundtable discussion. NOTES: This is a casual event and the Secretary would attend more in a personal capacity rather than in a professional capacity. 12:00PM- 4:00PM: Leaders in Finance: A Conversation to Strengthen America's Economy and Competitiveness with Government and Business Leaders (Location: Private Residence OR The Beverly Hilton , TBA) Description: This annual gathering of leaders at the Global Conference will examine policy priorities and investments that will enhance American competitiveness and drive economic growth.

No time for Q&A. LAURA will work with the GCS to confirm. Meeting with Mayors from the "National League of Cities", Monday March 13, 2017 : We'll use the same format as we did with the US Conference of Mayors this Holden, Ronald 17 7/25/2017 3:17 PM ED-17-0091, ED-17-0092-C-000725 March 13, 2017 Continued Monday week (but 45 minute meeting total). Closed press, internal photos for distribution. Adam, can you pis confirm the time 3-3:45pm? Attorney General Sessions is the conference's afternoon general session speaker at 3:30 PM, and a number of mayors who want to visit with the Secretary need to be back for that session. NLC's ask is whether there is another 45-minute time period during the day for which the mayors might join . There are not significant conflicts after the conference's morning general session ends at 10:30 AM. Keynote remarks at the "National Lt. Governors Association" Conference, Wednesday, March 15, 2017 : We are still confirming, but we recommend that she give a few minutes of formal remarks and then participat e in a moderated Q&A session with a TBD LG. SARAH and LAURA will confirm. I am happy to confirm with NLGA Executive Director Julia Hurst when the timing is confirmed . Remarks at NASBE, Monday, March 20, 2017 : She will speak for 15 minutes. No time for Q&A. SARAH is confirming time internally. Adam, we will keep you posted so you can confirm with them. I just received Sarah's confirmation of the timing and will confirm with NASBE Executive Director Kris Amundson . Remarks at CCSSO, Monday, March 20, 2017 : She will speak for 15-20 minutes and then participate in a "fireside chat" with TBD leader. We won't be able to do the open Q&A for 15 minutes. After the fonna l open sessio n, she will do the chiefs-only roundtable discussion (about 45 chief state school officers, and will include her senior USED staffers). Adam, can you pls confirm these details with them? Should she start her remarks at 4:30? Who would the moderator be? I am happy to confirm with CCSSOExecutive Director Chris Minnich , who would lead the fireside chat and moderate the private session. CCSSOhas also offered to facilitate any one-on-one meetings while the Secretary is on-site . I know we have requests from the Chiefs of Alaska, California, and Puerto Rico. There may be others that came directly to you . Do we have any time before or after event for such meetings? Thank you and please let me know if you have any questio ns.

Courtney can help with these logistics, but also do we expect any sort of agenda or structure?

April 14, 2017 FridaL 2:30 PM · 3:00 PM Planning Meeting on Milken Institute Conference ·· Secretary's Conference Room EVENT: 2017 Mi lken Institute Global Conference (20th Annual) DATE: Sunday , April 30 - Wednesday, May 3 (3:00pm PST-3:00pm LOCATION: The Beverly Hilton 9876 Wilshire Boulevard Beverly Hills, CA 90210 PST) INITIAL ASK: 3/5/ l 7 - "Specifica lly, we would be thrilled to have the Secretary join Lowell Milken and other education leaders on a panel discussion (or another format) on Monday, May l of the conference. In addition to the panel, there are many private sessio ns taking place over the course of the conference that are invitation -only that we would be pleased for her to join. " -Dianna Dunne , Director of Gov't Affairs, Milken Institute FOLLOW UP: 3/29/17, Phone Call, 3:15pm EST, Dianna Dunne and Michael Oberlie s TIMELINE TO CONFIRM ATTEN DANCE: Dianna Dunne (Milken) said they would ideally like to finalize the Secretary's participation in priority events by the end of this week, March 31. Additional events can be confirmed at a later date if need be. PRIORITY EVENTS FO R BDV: Dianna Dunne (Milken) has indicated the following events as a priority for the Secretary's participation at the Conference . Monday, May I, 2017 12:00PM - 2:00PM : Private Lunch with Education Leaders (Invitation Only, Private Session) (Location: The Beverl y Hilton) Description: Hosted by Lowell Milken, this interactive lunch discussion will focus on solu tions to challe nges in the K-12 and post-secon dary education systems. Milken , founder of the National Institute for Excellence in Teachin g and co-fou nder and chairman of the Milken Family Foundation, will join leaders in business and philanthropy for an invitatio n-only dialogue with some of America's foremost educators , business leaders, philanthropist s and govern ment offic ials. Holden, Ronald 51 7/25/2017 3:17 PM ED-17-0091, ED-17-0092-C-000759 April 14, 2017 Continued Friday In general, here is what we are thinking for the run of show for this private lunch (attended by approximately 70 participants). Lowell Milken will make brief opening remarks, then would introduce the Secretary for her to give remarks. At the conference, the public session format is always panel discussions (not formal remarks) so this lunch would be a good opportunity for her to give 'keynote' remarks before an influential group. After her remark s, Lowell would then moderate a conversation among all attendees. In general, attendees will includ e university presidents, education leaders, business and philanthropic leaders committed to improving education, elected officials and some K- 12 educators. NOTES: According to Dianna Dunne (Milken), this is a priority for the Secretary's participation. Lowell Milken would give opening remarks then would introduce the Secretary to give "keynote -esque" remarks from behind a podium to the group (the Conference does not contain any actual keynote addresses). Once the Secretary concludes, other speakers would address the group (Gov. Jeb Bush and former Secretary of Education Bill Bennett were given as examples) . 2:00PM: Arrive the Speaker Ready Room 2:30PM - 3:30PM: Beverly Hilton) A Conversation with U .S. Education Leaders (Location: The Draft Description: Despite highly visible and well-funded efforts to improve public education in the United States, significant challenges remain. This panel of education experts will tackle tough topics, propose remedies and identify avenues for business and philanthropic leaders to make an impact. Speakers: - Moderator Lowell Milken (Confirmed), Co-Founder and Chairman, Milken Family Foundation - William Bennett (Confirmed), Former U.S. Secretary of Education; Member , Trump Leadership Council - Betsy De Vos (Invited), U.S. Secretary of Education - John King (Invited), Former U.S. Secretary of Education; Former Commissioner, New York State Public Schools NOTES : According to Dianna Dunne (Milken), event would be a panel of former secretaries of education and the Secretary, moderated by Lowell Milken. Sec. King has not officially confirmed but Dunne said he is expected to attend. ADDITIONAL EVENTS: Dianna Dunne (Milken) has offered the following events to the Secretary's participation, if she so chooses, but places their importance lower than priority events.

This interactive discussion offers a select group of individ uals, fami lies, and philanthrop ists info1mation to thought leaders across a variety of topics during an off-the-record roundtable iliscussion. NOTES : This is a casual event and the Secretary would attend more in a personal capacity rather than in a professional capacity . 12:00PM- 4:00PM: Leaders in Finance: A Conversation to Strengthen America's Economy and Competitiveness w ith Government and Business Leaders (Location: Private Residence OR The Beverly Hilton , TBA ) Description: This annual gathering of leade rs at the Global Conference will examine policy priorities and investments that will enhance America n co mpetitive ness and drive econo mic growth. This off the record session allows participants (approx imately 35 individuals) including Members of Congress, Administra tion officia ls, and CEOs of leading corporations and financial institutions to engage in an informative, cand id dialogue. NOTES: Event will be broken down into four, hour long round table -style discussions separated by JO minute breaks - each hour on a different subject matter . Secretary would not need to stay for the full four hours, could come to any combination of subjects she desired. The room would be in conference-style with hollow square setup. Mike Milken is moderating and could introduce the Secretary to give casual remarks to the group (pre discussion) if she desired. 4:30PM - 6:30PM: Private Welcome Recept ion (Location: Bever ly Canon Gardens, 225 N. Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210) Description: According to Dianna Dunne (Milken), the space is a luxurious courtyard and attendance is expected at about 600, including many speakers of the conference. The space is roughly a five minute drive from The Beverly Hilton. No remarks or program, solely a social occasion. 6:30PM - 9:00PM: Private Welcome Dinn er (Location: Pri vate Residence TBA) Description: According to Dianna Dunne (Milken), there will be six separate dinners happening at private homes (all in Beverly Hills).

What is the appropriate federal role for supporting institutions and students including appropriate oversight of federal dollars? What are your short and long-term goals relative to higher education policy? Comments on the administration's FY18 budget and the goals. The APLU Council of Presidents will not be scripted with prepared questions . However, we wouldn't be surprised if the following issues came up: Concerns with the administration's FY18budget proposal Direction of the Office for Civil Rights Position on the College Transparency Act (APLUwas deeply engaged with the senate sponsors in crafting the bill and strongly supports it) Protecting students from the worst performers in higher ed (institutional accountability) Potential to move student loan portfolio to Treasury Support for liberal arts programs and four year degrees generally as well as career training Federal policy to encourage states to reinvest in public higher education (federa lstate partnership) Also, right now, I have changed the agenda so that there is no overlap between Secretary Acosta and Secretary DeVos. In doing so, Secretary Acosta is slotted to speak from 11:30am-12:10pm and then Secretary DeVos from 12:10-12:S0pm . Can you confirm this would be okay for her?

Education pol icy (both K-12 and higher education) and reform has been a top priority on our agenda since our inception. For example, Forum members supported - with one hundred percent consensus - use of Common Core, known here as the Colorado Academic Standards. The Forum helped create the Denver Preschool Program some years ago and has been a vigorous supporter of charter schools. In fact, several Forum members help found the Denver School of Science and Technology system, a public charter STEM network that has been extremely successful and remain on the Board today. Several of our members are also deeply involved in Teach for America. Davis, Martha 5 7/20/2017 10:45 AM M ay 04, 2017 Continued Thursday Every year, approximate ly 35 members of the Forum trave l to Washington to meet with Federal policymakers. We meet regularly with Cabinet secretaries, other administration officials, journal ists, analysts, and diplomats. This year, we would love the opportunity to sit down w ith you for an informal, off-the-record conversation about the administration's educational priorities and how we can be helpful as "boots on the ground" in implement ing ideas and policies. This is a well-informed, thoughtful, well-respected group of Colorado business leaders, deeply committed to finding solut ions to these complex issues and known for its ability to get things done . We will be in Washington from Wednesday, May 3 - Friday, May 5. We still have some flexibility in our schedule but I will take the liberty of suggesting a dinner meeting on May 3 (Restaurant Nora) or a meeting at ED on the afternoon of Thursday, May 4. You can read more about the Forum and our membersh ip at www .coloradoforum.com . Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing back, hopefully w ith a favorable reply.

I hope this works for you . Background : From: Kelly McManus [ mailto: kmcmanus@edtrust. org1 Sent : Wednesday, March 01, 2017 9:15 AM To: Botel, Jaso n Subject : new Ed Trust report on Black grad rates Lee, Ebony 51 7/20/2017 10:50 AM March 13, 2017 Continued Monday Hi Jason, I hope you are do ing well and settling in to you r new role! I know we've met in previous roles; I'd love to reconnect and find time to talk whenever you have some availability . Addit ionally, I wanted to flag for you a report we released today- "A Look at Black Student Success" - examining graduation rates for Black students and the completion gap between Black and White students at nonspecialized public and private nonprofit institutions, as well as fouryear, for -profit institut ions. You can find the fu ll report here, and highlights of the findings and methodology are below. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions! Take care, Kelly While the past decade has seen tremendous growth in Black student enrollment, only 41.0 percent of Black students who start college as first -time, full -time freshmen earn a degree within six years - a rate that is 22.0 percentage points below that of their White peers. The repo rt, "A look at Black Student Success:Identifying Top- and Bottom-Perform ing Institutions," finds that closing the national completion gap between Black and White students w ill require simultaneous work from our nation's higher education leaders on three fronts: • Addressing inequities in completion within individual institutions; • Changing enrollment patterns so selective institutions with higher graduat ion rates enroll more Black students; and • Improving comp letion rates at institutions where Black students are more likely to attend. The data used in this report come from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, or IPEDS,wh ich is a publicly available database that includes data colleges and universities are required to report annually to the U.S. Department of Education. Our analysis specifically uses institut ion- level graduation rate data for Wh ite and Black full-time, bachelor's degree-seeking students who enrolled at an institution for the first time in the fall of 2008 and completed a bachelor's degree within six years (20 14) at that institution. The 2014 graduation rates are the most current rates that are available to the public (as of December 9, 2016) . The repo rt calls out institutions that have low completion rates for Black students and large completion gaps between Black and White students. We also identify institutions with a consistent record of success. To ident ify universities and colleges in each category, we used 2012, 2013, and 2014 graduation rate data. And we leveraged we ighted, three-year averages to account for the impact of year-to -year cohort size differences . The criteria for the list of top -performe rs includes institutions that have: • A completion gap between Black and White students at or below 5.0 percentage points; • A graduation rate for Black students at least 10.0 percentage points above the average rate of their peer institutions (as defined in our College Results tool, www .collegeresults.org ); • A graduation rate cohort that was at least 5.0 percent Black; and • A graduation rate cohort that included at least 100 Black students and 100 Wh ite students. The criter ia for the list of bottom-performers includes institut ions that have: • A completion gap between Black and White students at or above 20.0 percentage points; Lee, Ebony 52 7/20/2017 10:50 AM March 13, 2017 Continued Monday • A graduation rate for Black students at least 10.0 percentage poin ts below the average rate of their peer institutions; • A graduation rate cohort at least 5.0 percent Black; and • A graduation rate cohort that included at least 100 Black students and 100 White students.

Hi Josh, hope this email finds you we ll! I know things are off to a busy start so I greatly appreciate your considerat ion of the following . The Podesta Group provides strategic communications services to Michigan -based Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Mott Foundation Chairman Bill White and his son, Ridgway White , president of the Foundation, have asked if it wou ld be possible to secure a meeting with Secretary DeVos. As way of background, under Bill's leadersh ip, the Foundation has invested significant time, energy and resources in afterschool and summer learning programs for nearly two decades. Bill was an early supporte r of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC)program, wh ich was launched at the end of the Clinton administrat ion, continue d under the Bush and Obama admi nistrations, and included as a line item in the Every Students Succeeds Act (ESSA).Bill is passionate about the benefits of learni ng in the hours after school and in the summer and has invested more than 200 million dollars in rural and urban communities across the country to compliment the federal investment. In educating policymakers about the program, I like to say the 21st CCLCprogram is one that works as Congress intended. The federal dollars have been used to leverage additional do llars in the states and to engage community organizations. In recent years, at Bill's direction, the Foundation has invested dollars into research and data to be able to evidence the academic and other benefits to students who participate in a high quality program . He would we lcome the opportunity to spend a few minutes with the Secretary and share what he knows about who is using this federal program and how it wo rks. In the hopes that this request would be viewed favora bly, Bill has provided me with the following upcoming dates that wou ld work we ll to be in DC: Thursday, Ma rch 2 or Friday, March 10. He is happy to travel to DCfor the meeting or meet the Secretary in Michigan if that would be preferable. Truly, Bill will accommodate whateve r date/time/location would work best for Secy. Devos. Thank you for your consideratio n. Please find below a link to their bios. And, please don't hesitate to call if I can provide additional info rmation.

I believe Mike Milken mentioned the Global Conference to her when they saw each other at the reception so hopefully it will work out. On behalf of the Mi lken Institute, we wou ld be honored for Secretary DeVos to join us as a speaker at this year's upcoming 20th Annual Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles - Sunday, April 30-Wednesday, May 3, 2017. Specifically, we would be thrilled to have the Secretary join Lowell Milken and other education leaders on a panel discussion (or another format) on Monday, May 1 of the conference . In addition to the panel, there are many private sessions taking place over the course of the conference that are invitation-only that we would be pleased for her to join. I'm including below a brief sketch of the Sunday private sessions that kick-off the conference for the fo llowing day as well as the private lunch with education leaders on Monday: Sunday, April 30, 2017 4:30PM - 6:30PM: Private Welcome Reception {Location: Beverly Canon Gardens, 225 N.

As John pointed Lee, Ebony 104 7/20/2017 10:50 AM March 22, 2017 Continued Wednesday out, I am the registered lobbyist for both the District's public charter school community and the Opportunity Scholarship Program. I raised an idea to the Secretary at her Open House and she was very intrigued. I proposed a DC Education Summit that wou ld include the Secretary, Mayor Bowser, Deputy Mayor of Education Jennie Niles, Scott Pearson of the Public Charter School Board, the Chancellor Antwann Wilson of DCPSand Rachel Sotsky of Serving Our Children which is the Administrator of the Opportunity Scholarship Program. Of course, I would attend to ensure a strong ally was in the room . The Mayor's government relations team and I have had a discussion and they are open to the idea. Another option could be for the Secretary to meet with the District's school choice advocacy community to discuss any ideas the Secretary has for school choice in the District and how we could gain support prior to her announcing anything so we hit the ground running in a positive way . FYI, I was the indiv idual that arranged for the Secretary's visit to Thurgood Marshall Public Charter school prior to her being confirmed which I was told was quite successful. Robert Goad and I have worked together extensively as well. Please advise if you would like to discuss these ideas further and I look forward to meeting you in person in the very near future .

Thank you so much for attending and speaking at National PTA's Legislative Conference last week. We greatly appreciate your time and your w illingness to have an open dialogue with us at National PTA. To that end, Nathan Monell, our Executive Director, who you were able to speak with (along with National PTA Officers) following your remarks would welcome the opportunity to speak with you about stakeholder engagement under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)and the Department's recent ly revised ESSA Consolidated State Plan Template. As you may have seen, we released a statement on Monday expressing our disappointment that the requirement to describe stakeholder engagement in the state plan template was removed. I have attached the statement to this email for your reference . Robust and effective stakeholder engagement at the state level in the development of state education plans is of utmost importance for t he successful implementation of the law and to ensure parents have the power to make decisions about their child's education. I have copied Cynthia Gismegian, Nathan's execut ive assistant on this email to facil itate an in person meeting if possible next week. I understand that you are extremely busy, so if an in person meeting is not possible, we would welcome the opportun ity to speak with you via phone.

That afternoon , they will be leading a panel discus sion on Capitol Hill hosted by the Senate CTE Caucus. As you may know, Linked Leaming is an approach to high school reform implemented across California that transforms the traditional high school experience by integrating rigorous academics with high-quality careertechnical education, work-based learn ing, and comprehensive support services . This approach also directly engages state and local business and industry , and higher education in improving and making relevant the high school education expenence. The latest evaluation of the Linked Leaming approach includes a first-time look at end-of-high school outcomes for students in Linked Leaming pathways and shows that students enro lled in certified Linked Leaming pathways are outperforming their peers enrolled in traditional high school programs in the following areas: • Linked Learning student s are 5.3% more likely to graduate from high school. • Linked Learning students who entered certified pathways with low prior achievement are 8.5% more likely to graduate, and 6.4% more likely to enroll in a four-year college. • African American students in certified pathways were 12.4% more likely to enroll in a four-year college. • Linked Learning students report greater confidence in their life and career skills, and report they are experiencing more rigorous, integrated, and relevant instruction. The meeting participants will include Linked Learning partners that represent the public and private sector, including a Linked Learning graduate , who can share how their secondary and postsecondary education , employer , and intermediary entities work together to sustain this work .

Where: SC100 Dear ED Colleagues, We are inviting you to participate in a panel discussion on the transition as part of Conversations About Leading (CAL).CAL is a long-standing professional development opportunity for ED staff, other federal agencies staff, and others who are focused on developing their capacity to lead.* In January of this year, just prior to the arrival of the new administration's staff at ED, CAL had a session titled Transition Part I: Preparation, the results of which are attached. Both the Partnership for Public Service and the Federal Communicators Network found our approach to and the results of that conversation to be a model for how to think about and accomplish a transition. As you will see, our focus as career staff was on building relationships with new colleagues to ensure the best results for our work on one of the most important endeavors of our country- an excellent education for all its people. In that context and with the gain of six months of perspective, we are now organizing Transition Part 2: What We're Learning. This time, we are inviting a mix of career and political staff to lead the conversation by providing their perspectives on the successof the transition to date. The conversation will be framed by the following questions, for which we gratefully acknowledge Joe Conaty as the composer: 1. What went well? 2. What hasn't gone so well? 3. What would you do differently? 4. What would you not do? The goal of the conversation is to gain lessons for going forward together in our work beyond the transition. Joe Conaty will kick it off by responding to these questions and then extend the conversation to you. As with all CALsessions, the participants will also engage in the conversation by asking questions of you and each other , and by addressing how the transition is going from their perspectives. We thank you in advance for your consideration of this invitation . If you cannot participate and would like to recommend a surrogate, we would be very grateful for that suggestion . This conversation is of great importance to many of our colleagues at ED and Lee, Ebony thus we want a robust, representative panel of transitioners with keen insight .

Here is our call information [in case you would like to participate by conference call]: rX 6l Please do not place the call on hold if you participate . The result of that is the Department of Education's "muzak" starts to play, disrupting the phone call.

This is often not being done. Many timesheets are not being completed unt il the following Monday, Tuesday and sometimes even Wednesday. This can cause employees to not be paid on time. When employees/supervisors are contacted regarding missing timesheets, I am often told that they forgot it was time to do timesheets. In order to prevent this from happening, I will be sending out an OPE-Wide appointment invite. It will be a recurring appointment for every other Thursday, to remind you to complete timesheets by Friday. Please accept this appointment onto your calendar so you will get the biweekly reminder. Employees/Supervisors - If you will be out of the office on the Friday that timesheets are due, make sure you complete it on the last day you are in the office, prior to your flex day or leave . Supervisors - please make sure you have assigned a delegate to complete timesheets in your absence. If you know you will not be in the office on the Friday that timesheets are due, make sure your delegate is aware that they need to certify the timesheets on your behalf. You should also provide your staff with a deadline to submit their timesheets to you, to allow you time to certify them by COB Friday. Let me know if you have any questions.

For convenience, I am attaching it to this message. The document, as well as all informatio n about the consolidate d State plans, is available on our website here . As we mentioned in our webinar last week, this document focuses on these three programs because the peer review of the consolidated State plans will include only these three programs, which the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) , requires to be peer reviewed. For all other sections of the consolidated State plans, Department staff will review the State' s submission. This documen t aligns with the Revised State Template for the Consolidated State Plan that was released on March 13, 2017. The State Plan Peer Review Criteria is intended to help ensure that each State submits a complete State plan and to help guide the peer reviewe rs in making recommendatio ns to the Secretary as to whether each State plan meets the requirements in the Revised State Template for the Consolidated State Plan for those progra ms that are subject to peer review. Brickman, Michael 28 7/24/20 17 10:57 AM March 30, 2017 Continued Thursday The docu ment presents each of the requirements in the Revised State Template for the Consolidated State Plan in the form of questions, broken down into smaller segmen ts than the requirements in the template. In this way, States can more easily check if they have met all of the requirements and peers can evaluate whether each State has met all of the requirements . We have scheduled a webinar later this week to walk through the State Plan Peer Review Criteria . Please use the link below to access this week's webi nar. Webinar: State Plan Peer Review Criteria Thursday, March 30, 2017 , 2:00-3: 30 PM ET Access the webinar here . Please direct any questio ns to your contact in the Office of State Suppo rt at OSS.(State name]@ed .gov (e.g., OSS .NewHampsh ire@ed.gov).

You may have met Brian Gunn when you were with EFC,but in case you didn 't, I wanted to introduce (or reconnect) you via email. Brian is with MeasureOne, a data and analytics firm that does work with student lenders. Given all of the questions about repayment rate calculations, I think Brian has some unique insight that could be helpful to the Department. I'll let him tell you the details, but it would be great for the two of you to meet or at least chat by phone. So, Kathleen meet Brian, and Brian meet Kathleen!

Those planning to attend in lease arrive b 9:45 am.*** (b)(6) ea unng: Blair Blackwell, Manager of Corporate Programs for Chevron Corporation. Blair is a recognized leader in STEM education across the private and non-profit sectors, who will be joining us to discuss the industry perspective on STEM education. This event will provide an opportunity for us to learn about exciting new work in STEM education from the industry perspective, and to connect with other federal colleagues interested in STEM education. Background: STEM is a critical strategy for workforce preparedness. Employment in occupations related to STEM is projected to grow significantly. Many jobs associated with higher wages and lower unemployment requ ire critical thinking and problem solving skills, which are developed through STEM learning experiences, both in and out of school. At the U.S. Department of Education, STEM is a prior ity for both competitive and formula grant programs. STEM education is an impor tant focus area for the administration and across the federal government. Today, the President and lvanka Trump hosted a video call to congratulate NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson on her record-breaking stint aboard the International Space Station. A few weeks ago, Secretary DeVos and lvanka Trump joined students at an event promoting STEM education at the National Air and Space Museum; in February, the President signed two bills that expand federal efforts to get more women and girls into the STEMfields. STEM Brickman, Michael 45 7/24/2017 10:57 AM April 28, 2017 Continued Friday education is also a critical focus area for industry, as it holds the key to their future workforce. Coordination and collaboration across the broader STEM education community is needed in order to meet the nation's workforce needs. We hope you will be able to join us for this exciting conversation. Please let me know if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you on Friday morning.

Brickman, Michael Sebast ian, I agree entirely. There are only so many levers we can pull from ED and there are limits to the amount of true innovatior likely to occur within an existing system as massive and established as this one. That said, I suspect there are incentives we create (intentionall y or otherwise) throug h our programs here that do not always align well with today's economy and the needs of today's stude nt. That's what we're hoping to address and I suspect the existing system could learn a thing or two from what you all have been able to do so far. If you have a moment , it'd be great to hear more. Otherwise , please feel free to reach out any time.

This is often not being done. Many timesheets are not being completed until the following Monday, Tuesday and sometimes even Wednesday . This can cause employees to not be paid on time. When employees / supervisors are contacted regarding missing timesheets, I am often told that they forgot it was time to do timesheets. In order to prevent this from happening, I will be sending out an OPE-Wide appointment invite. It will be a recurring appointment for every other Thursday, to remind you to complete timesheets by Friday. Please accept this appointment onto your calendar so you will get the biweekly reminder. Employees / Supervisors - If you will be out of the office on the Friday that timesheets are due, make sure you complete it on the last day you are in the office, prior to your flex day or leave . Supervisors - plea se make sure you have assigned a delegate to complete timesheets in your absence. If you know you will not be in the office on the Friday that timesheets are due, make sure your delegate is aware that they need to certify the timesheets on your behalf. You should also provide your staff with a deadline to submit their timesheets to you, to allow you time to certify them by COB Friday. Let me know if you have any questions.

From: Letourneau, Kristina Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 9:38 AM To: OPE All Users Subject: Completing your tim esheet in WebTA Importance: High As you know, all timesheets should be completely processed (validated/affirmed/certified) by the last Friday of the pay period. This is often not being done. Many timesheets are not being completed until the following Monday, Tuesday and sometimes even Wednesday. This can cause employees to not be paid on time. When employees / supervisors are contacted regarding missing timesheets, I am often told that they forgot it was time to do timesheets. In order to prevent this from happening, I will be sending out an OPE- Wide appointment invite. It will be a recurring appointment for every other Thursday, to remind you to complete timesheets by Friday. Please accept this appointment onto your calendar so you will get the biweekly reminder. Employees / Supervisors - If you will be out of the office on the Friday that timesheets are due, make sure you complete it on the last day you are in the office, prior to your flex day or leave. Supervisors - please make sure you have assigned a delegate to complete timesheets in your absence. If you know you will not be in the office on the Friday that timesheets are due, make sure your delegate is aware that they need to certify the timesheets on your behalf. You should also provide your staff with a deadline to submit their timesheets to you, to allow you time to certify them by COB Friday. Let me know if you have any questions.

From: Letourneau, Kristina Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 9:38 AM To: OPE All Users Subject: Completing your tim esheet in WebTA Importance: High As you know, all timesheets should be completely processed (validated/affirmed/certified) by the last Friday of the pay period. This is often not being done. Many timesheets are not being completed until the following Monday, Tuesday and sometimes even Wednesday. This can cause employees to not be paid on time. When employees / supervisors are contacted regarding missing timesheets, I am often told that they forgot it was time to do timesheets. In order to prevent this from happening, I will be sending out an OPE- Wide appointment invite. It will be a recurring appointment for every other Thursday, to remind you to complete timesheets by Friday. Please accept this appointment onto your calendar so you will get the biweekly reminder. Employees / Supervisors - If you will be out of the office on the Friday that timesheets are due, make sure you complete it on the last day you are in the office, prior to your flex day or leave. Supervisors - please make sure you have assigned a delegate to complete timesheets in your absence. If you know you will not be in the office on the Friday that timesheets are due, make sure your delegate is aware that they need to certify the timesheets on your behalf. You should also provide your staff with a deadline to submit their timesheets to you, to allow you time to certify them by COB Friday. Let me know if you have any questions.

From: Letourneau, Kristina Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 9:38 AM To: OPE All Users Subject: Completing your timesheet in WebTA Importance: High As you know, all timesheets should be completely processed (validated / affirmed / certified) by the last Friday of the pay period. This is often not being done. Many timesheets are not being completed until the following Monday, Tuesday and sometimes even Wednesday. This can cause employees to not be paid on time . When employees / supervisors are contacted regarding missing timesheets, I am often told that they forgot it was time to do timesheets. In order to prevent this from happening, I will be sending out an OPE- Wide appointment invite. It will be a recurring appointment for every other Thursday, to remind you to complete timesheets by Friday. Please accept this appointment onto your calendar so you will get the biweekly reminder. Employees / Supervisors - If you will be out of the office on the Friday that timesheets are due, make sure you complete it on the last day you are in the office, prior to your flex day or leave. Supervisors - please make sure you have assigned a delegate to complete timesheets in your absence. If you know you will not be in the office on the Friday that timesheets are due, make sure your delegate is aware that they need to certify the timesheets on your behalf. You should also provide your staff with a deadline to submit their timesheets to you, to allow you time to certify them by COB Smith, Kathleen 79 7/25/ 20 17 1:43 PM April 27, 2017 Continued Thursday Let me know if you have any questions.

OLCA has received a request from the Ed and Workforce staff for a briefing on experimental sites. This is an internal pre-meet to ensure we are on the same page before scheduling this briefing with the hill. Here are the original questions : Specifically, they are asking for more information about why the 4 experiments were cancelled effective June 30, 2017 and who made the decision to do so. They would also like an update on the current experiments that are currently running. The staffer also indicated that the HEA requires the Secretary to review and evaluate the experience of institutions participating as experimental sites and, on a biennial basis, submit a report based on the review and evaluation to the authorizing committees (sec. 487A(b}{2}}. To their knowledge, they have never received any of these reports,, and the most recent one they can locate on the department's website is from June 2011 which is an analysis of sites from 2009-10.

Not to worry: the Office of the General Counsel and FOIA Service Center are providing training to answer all your FOIA questions, including : • What are our obligations under FOIA? • Who can file a FOIA request? • What records fall within the reach of FOIA? • Does FOIA allow us to protect any of our records from disclosure? • What are the most common types of FOIA issues raised at the Department? • What do we do if we receive a FOIA request?
