Certificates of completion for 30 hours will be issued to each teacher who attends the entire Institute and has paid fees in full. Attendance is mandatory and will be noted daily in each class. This policy will be enforced. A limited number of grants for registration will be available to Arkansas public school teachers through the Arkansas Department of Education. This reimbursement will be given first to those AP teachers who have never attended an AP Institute. This ADE registration funding will be available until April 1, 2009. Following this date, the remainder of these funds will be available for registration of experienced AP and Pre AP teachers. Date of receipt of registration will determine qualification for state grants. Early registration is beneficial.
