d. 2. P. iv. How the Funds Reserved for Innovation and Expansion (i&e) Activities Were Utilized.
Current Narrative:
Title I funds for innovation and expansion are reserved and used to support the SRC in the annual resource plan. Title I funds are also used, along with funds from the Division of Services for the Blind, to support the SILC annual budget. Innovation and expansion funds supported ARS community forums, called ACE/ARS Expos, in FY 2014 and FY 2015 in several communities. The Expos are marketing and outreach efforts to reach individuals with disabilities, parents, community leaders, schools, and businesses in the community. The Expos are a combination outreach and job fair with booth displays of ARS field services, transition services, assistive technology, Arkansas Career Training Institute, Adult Basic Education, and employers.
