SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAM. Maryland Accelerates (MA) aims to build systemic capacities in high-need rural communities through teacher-leader residencies with career advancement pathways for inclusive excellence. The accelerated pathways are designed to simultaneously increase teacher diversity and improve teaching competencies, while bridging opportunity and achievement gaps through investment in region-wide infrastructures and career ladder frameworks for improvement of teacher effectiveness, retention, and career advancement. The MA addresses Absolute Priority and Competitive Preference Priority I under the TQP Program. Leveraging Partnerships in high-need rural schools, the innovative teacher-leader residency program will help realize State priorities in preparing and retaining highly effective teachers in the critical shortage areas of Science, Mathematics, Computer Science, English, and Elementary Education. The core Partners include Frostburg State University (FSU), FSU P-20 Education Council, FSU Professional Development Partnership Schools Network, Xxxxxxxxx County Public Schools, and Xxxxxxx County Public Schools (the “Partners”). The P-20 Partnership reflects region-wide commitment to maximizing impact and ensuring sustainability. Leveraging current knowledge, promising practices, and advanced technologies, the MA Parties will co-implement an 18-month or less teacher residency programs in Computer Science, Science, Mathematics, English, and Elementary Education. The objectives are to (1) increase diverse teacher supply and accelerate professional growth through intensive and extensive field-based preparation with fully integrated curriculum; and (2) ensure competency mastery through rigorous combination of nationally validated summative assessments and regionally validated formative assessments. Upon successful completion, each teacher resident will receive a MAT degree and a teacher licensure in the area of specialization. GCPS will focus on recruiting and developing a diverse pipeline of teachers specifically for the MA Program. Applicants to the MA will be recruited and accepted based on selection criteria established by the Parties. Residents will complete a full-year teacher-residency alongside a GCPS mentor teacher while taking FSU Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) coursework.

SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAM. For certain Products ordered pursuant to the Agreement, Supplier and Company may establish build-to-order lead-times. At a minimum, Supplier will be expected to deliver to Company the required quantities of Products on an as ordered basis in accordance with the agreed to build to order lead-times and, where Company has provided a Forecast for the build to order Products, in accordance with the Upside Flexible Delivery Limits set forth in Section 4.0 of this Attachment. For each such Product, Company and Supplier will mutually agree to a minimum lot size. Company will load this minimum lot size quantity into its MRP system and provide “netted” Forecasted demand to Supplier accordingly. Lot sizes will be evaluated quarterly. In the absence of any Forecasted demand by Company, Supplier will be expected, at a minimum, to deliver to Company the required quantities of Products on an as ordered basis in accordance with the agreed to build to order lead-times.
SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAM. Blanket Purchase Orders will cover a specific period of time as identified in the applicable Order. The quantity of Products specified in such Orders is Company’s Forecasted usage for the specified period. The Forecast is not a commitment. Company’s commitment to Supplier is for the number of units of Product ordered by Company through the issuance of a release (the “Release”), except as otherwise stated in this Agreement. Each Release shall specify the number of units of Product to be shipped by Supplier to Company and the shipment schedule (the “Release Schedule”).

SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAM. The Agency helps Australians by administering a range of programs to deliver payments and services on behalf of the Commonwealth. The Agency maintains the integrity of these payments and services by undertaking activities to: ensure customers meet qualification rules; ensure customers meet payability rules; and where required, recover any incorrectly paid benefits. In March 2020, as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, a very large number of individuals lodged claims for a social security payment with the Agency. In addition to this, the Australian Government announced the Coronavirus Supplement, which is an additional payment of $550 per fortnight for customers receiving at least $1 per fortnight of eligible social security payments. With the increase in fortnightly payments and the very large number of new claimants, the Agency needed to ensure we were able to assist these claimants while maintaining the integrity of social security payment programs. On 30 March 2020 the Australian Government announced the economic response to the Coronavirus, which included the JobKeeper Payment wage supplement scheme. This scheme aimed to help keep more Australians in jobs and to support businesses affected by the significant economic impact caused by the Coronavirus and was originally scheduled to be in place until 27 September 2020. On 21 July 2020, the Government made a further announcement that the JobKeeper Payment wage supplement scheme would be extended and continue to be available to eligible businesses (including the self-employed) and not-for-profits until 28 March 2021 at a reduced rate, and separated into two Tiers based on the hours worked by eligible employees. From 28 September 2020 to 3 January 2021, the JobKeeper payment rate will be $1,200 (before tax) per fortnight for Tier 1 employees and $750 (before tax) per fortnight for Tier 2 employees. From 4 January 2021 to 28 March 2021, the JobKeeper payment rate will be $1,000 (before tax) per fortnight for Tier 1 employees and $650 (before tax) per fortnight for Tier 2 employees. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will continue to pay the JobKeeper Payment to employers who are eligible for the scheme. The extension of the JobKeeper Payment ensures eligible employees remain connected to their employer and will help businesses restart quickly when the crisis is over. To qualify for the JobKeeper Payment, employers must continue to: be carrying on an enterprise or business; identify that the enterprise or...
