On Monday, January 24, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time, the Department’s Office of Communications and Outreach (OCO) will host its first Education Stakeholders Forum of the new year.

The Secretary will outline the Department’s legislative and programmatic priorities for 2011, and senior officials will provide the latest information on the School Improvement Grant (SIG) program and a new initiative for sharing state data profiles.

As with previous forums, the meeting will take place at the agency’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. However, in an effort to make the information shared readily available, the Department will also be live streaming this forum.

Beginning at 9:00 a.m. that morning, anyone wishing to listen in to the forum proceedings can visit http://www.ustream.tv/channel/education-department.
