This letter concerns the Math ADEPT program, for which my county/district has written a letter of support, and which has been funded by the National Science Foundation.

Upon making the 3-year award, including free tuition for all participants, NSF stated the following:

In accordance with sections 1869a and 1869b of title 42 of the United States Code, the awardee will do the following:

1. Obtain from the school board or comparable authority responsible for the schools considering participation in the project, written approval prior to involvement of pre-college students in pre-college education research and development, pilot-testing, evaluation, and revision of experimental and innovative pre-college curriculum. (emphasis added)

2. Include in every publication, testing, or distribution agreement involving instructional materials developed under this grant (including, but not limited to, teachers' manuals, textbooks, films, tapes, or other supplementary material) a requirement that such material be made available within the school district using it for inspection by parents or guardians of children engaged in educational programs or projects using such material of that school district.

In keeping with item 1, this letter indicates the approval for teachers from my county/district _______________, and who are enrolled in ADEPT courses, to teach modified lesson plans in our schools per their ADEPT courses; that any ADEPT teachers' workbooks will comply with item 2, and that I have the authority give such approval.

I understand that these revisions are under the consulting supervision of Salisbury University Mathematics and Education faculty and using the professional judgment of our teachers.

Sincerely,
