<span style="font-size:12.0pt">As reported during the ELC/LLC meeting, SBCTC has been preparing a proposal to submit for this grant for a while. We expected this grant to be released around this time as DOE opened the public comment period a couple months ago.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt">Among the many topics considered, it has been decided that the proposal will be about developing a set of open textbooks in professional technical programs such as welding, automotive, health care, early childhood education, etc.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt">We have had webinars and meetings with workforce deans/VPs and faculty members in the Prof Tech area to determine the small set of courses to join the first pilot, and as shared during the ELC/LLC meeting, even ran a survey to
get some recommendations (<a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/wa-proftech">https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/wa-proftech</a>).

<b>we still need to identify more</b>.</span></p>
