(a) In compliance
				with section 403(b) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the
				membership of the State advisory council for fiscal year 1978 will be
				established 90 days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year (October 1,
				1977). The terms of five State advisory council members expire at the end of
				fiscal year 1977 and the members will be replaced. In addition, the resignation
				of one council member will cause another appointment, and a new student
				representative on the council will be selected. The same selection process
				established in fiscal year 1976 will be continued in fiscal year 1978. In this
				process, the executive deputy commissioner solicits suggestions regarding
				selection of advisory council members from each area of the department. These
				suggestions are then screened and approved by the commissioner. Upon approval
				of the names by USOE, the commissioner writes individual letters to members
				asking them to serve on the advisory council.
(b) The Office for Program Analysis and
				Evaluation will continue to act as the support office for the advisory council
				in fiscal year 1978. The Office for Program Analysis and Evaluation will
				provide staff support to the advisory council, arrange meetings, provide
				information to council members and provide other services that are necessary.
				The Bureau for Program Planning and Evaluation, a unit within the Office for
				Program Analysis and Evaluation, will serve as the mechanism for supporting the
				advisory council in carrying out its evaluation responsibilities.
