The Advisory Council for School-to-Work Opportunities; Notice of Renewal

In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the Secretaries of Labor and Education have renewed the charter for the Advisory Council for School-to-Work Opportunities.

The Advisory Council for School-to-Work Opportunities shall provide advice to the Departments of Education and Labor on a number of matters pertaining to implementation of the School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1994. The Council shall be responsible for: Assessing the progress of School-to-Work Opportunities systems development and program implementation toward achieving the goals for the School-to-Work Opportunities initiative; providing feedback and making recommendations to the Executive Committee regarding the progress and direction of implementation of the School-to-Work Opportunities initiative; advising the Executive Committee on the effectiveness of the Federal role in providing venture capital to States and localities to develop School- to-Work systems; and reporting periodically to the Executive Committee on emerging issues, actions, and findings and providing input into policy issues, as requested.

The Council will meet two times a year. It will be composed of approximately 40 members, with the following representation: educators, employers, labor, community groups, the general public, students (secondary and post-secondary), parents, State officials (current Governors, State legislators, State STWO officials), and local officials (mayors, county administrators, local STWO officials). None of these members shall be deemed to be employees of the United States.

The Council will report to the Departments of Education and Labor through the School-to-Work Opportunities Executive Committee, composed of senior executive Federal officials from the Departments of Education and Labor. It will function solely as an advisory body and in compliance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding the renewal of The Advisory Council for School-to-Work Opportunities. Such comments should be addressed to: Stephanie Powers, National School-to- Work Office, 400 Virginia Avenue, SW, Room 210, Washington, DC 20024.

Signed at Washington, DC this 29th day of November, 1999. Alexis M. Herman, Secretary of Labor. Richard W. Riley, Secretary of Education.
