Applications under this FFO, available at <a

style="font-family:"comic sans

opened on the first day of the five-week,
partial government furlough, so we in the New
England B-WET Program Office are scrambling to
get caught up on implementation of this grant
opportunity. Also unfortunately, we cannot
extend the application timeline because of
fiscal uncertainties, including a potential
second shutdown when the current Continuing
Resolutions expires this Friday, February 15,
2019.</div>

style="font-family:"comic sans

read the FFO completely. We worked hard to use
"plain language" and have avoided "government
speak" to fullest extent possible! We've also
limited the solicitation to two priorities,
designed to fit with the educational resources
and needs of New England.</div>
