Subject: Extended Deadlines for Teachers of Multiple Core Academic Subjects in Eligible Rural LEAs

In a March 31, 2004 letter to Chief State School Officers, the U.S. Secretary of Education gave the states flexibility for meeting the teacher quality requirements in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Among other things, the Secretary extended the deadlines for being "highly qualified" for teachers of multiple core academic subjects who are employed by "eligible rural LEAs." The Secretary’s letter is available online at
http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/secletter/040331.html .

"Eligible rural LEAs" that intend to use the extended deadlines must file a Notice of Intent with the State Education Department (SED) by October 1, 2004. This field memo contains the Notice of Intent form and related information. Notices should be submitted to:
