Prototype Disclaimers

The following reports may have a “finished” look. However,

• •

We are 2 weeks into a 5 year contract.

They are taken from early prototyping efforts. They are certain to change somewhat.

• •

Reviews with NYSED staff are just now beginning.

The Report Advisory Committee, with representatives from a diverse group of educational organizations and institutions within NY State, will review all report prototypes prior to release. The first meeting is scheduled for December 2005.
