Fellows will work closely with the Department of Education and our education reform initiatives. The Fellowship applications will be reviewed by a seven member statewide panel. The final decision on the recipient will be made by the Commissioner of Education, and the announcement of the Fellowship award will be made in the spring at a public ceremony by Commissioner Antonucci and the statewide panel. The Council of Chief State School Officers will sponsor an annual conference for the McAuliffe Fellows. The conference for the 1998 McAuliffe Fellow will be held in August 1999.
Specific dates are to be determined.
