# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Reading First Advisory Committee is authorized by sections 1203(c)(2)(a) and 1202(e)(2) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended. The Committee is established within the Department of Education to evaluate Reading First applications submitted by States, to review the progress reports that States submit after the third year of the grant period, to advise on the awarding of Targeted Assistance Grants, and to advise the Secretary on other issues that the Secretary deems appropriate.

The purpose of this meeting will be to review the application for Targeted Assistance funds from the state of Nevada. Nevada is the only state eligible to apply for funding this year, based on the data submitted in the 2007 Annual Performance Report. A subcommittee will review Nevada's application in advance of this meeting and make a recommendation for approval or disapproval to the full Committee.

                    At the last open meeting on June 23, 2008, the Committee decided to work on an analysis of the                     *Reading First Impact Study: Interim Report*. This analysis may be discussed during the August 20, 2008 meeting.
