New Century Educational Management in Phoenix, was awarded a $249,436 grant to help enhance & fortify its readiness & emergency response management plans. New Century Educational Management is one of 91 school districts in 32 states to receive an award under the Readiness & Emergency Management for Schools (REMS) grant program. In total, more than $27 million was awarded to school districts across the country.
The REMS discretionary grant program provides funds for school districts to improve & strengthen their emergency management plans. The program also enables school districts to develop improved plans that address all 4 phases of emergency management: Prevention-Mitigation, Preparedness, Response & Recovery. School districts also must commit to developing written plans that are coordinated with state Homeland Security plans, support the implementation of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) & are designed to prepare for a possible infectious disease outbreak, such as an influenza pandemic.
Funds also can be used to train school personnel & students in emergency management; communicate emergency management policies & reunification procedures to parents & guardians; coordinate with local emergency responders, including fire & police; purchase equipment; & coordinate with groups & organizations responsible for recovery issues, such as health & mental health agencies.
As part of the No Child Left Behind Act, local school districts must provide assurances that they have plans that outline how they are working to keep their schools safe & drug-free.
The grants are housed within the Office of Safe & Drug-Free Schools, which supports efforts to create safe schools, respond to crises, prevent drug & alcohol abuse, ensure the health & well being of students, & teach students good citizenship & character. The office also coordinates the Department’s efforts in these areas with other federal agencies.

Globe Construction Alert
ADOT has begun a project to improve the intersection of US 60 and State Route 188 (Ragus Road to Russell Road) between Globe and Miami. The work includes construction of a fill slope to support the sidewalk, removing pavement, curb, and guardrail and replacing it with new pavement, curb and gutter, guardrail, sidewalks and ramps, driveways, hand rails, pedestrian push buttons at the traffic signal, new loop detectors, signing, and pavement striping.
Work will take place off the roadway for approximately two weeks. Temporary concrete barriers will be set at the edge of the highway to protect workers and the work zone. As work progresses, lane closures and speed restrictions will be in place. Lane restrictions will only affect eastbound travel, and one lane will remain open at all times. The contractor and ADOT will coordinate work to maintain access to businesses and with the Arizona Eastern Railroad to avoid impacting the train schedules.
The project is scheduled to be complete by the end of November.
ADOT advises drivers to proceed with caution, obey all posted speed limit signs, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel. Law enforcement personnel will be used to monitor the speed of vehicles through the work area.
Road conditions and up-to-date restrictions can be found by dialing 511 or at az511.com.

New Scam Involving The IRS
The Internal Revenue Service has issued a consumer alert regarding a new, 2-step e-mail scam that falsely promises recipients they will receive $80 for participating in an online customer satisfaction survey. In the scam, an unsuspecting taxpayer receives an unsolicited e-mail that appears to be from the IRS. The e-mail contains a URL linking to an online "Member Satisfaction Survey."
The e-mail notifies the recipient that he or she has been randomly selected to participate in a survey. In return, the IRS will credit $80 to the taxpayer's account. There are references to the IRS in the "from" line & the "subject" line of the e-mail. The link to the survey & a copyright statement at the bottom of the e-mail also reference the IRS. The survey form features the IRS logo.
In addition to standard customer satisfaction survey questions, the survey requests the name & phone number of the participant & also asks for credit card information. Once the fraudsters have a name & phone number, they will presumably call the participant and attempt to retrieve other financial information.
The apparent objectives of this scam are to use the participant's name & financial data to withdraw funds from the taxpayer's bank account, run up charges on a credit card or take out loans in the taxpayer's name.
Tricking victims into revealing private personal and financial information over the Internet, telephone or other means is a practice known as "phishing."
Taxpayers should be aware that the IRS does not send unsolicited e-mail. Additionally, the IRS never asks taxpayers for PIN numbers, passwords or similar secret access info for credit card, bank or other financial accounts.
Recipients of questionable e-mail that appears to come from the IRS should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the e-mail. Instead, forward the e-mail to: phishing@irs.gov.
The IRS & the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) work with the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) & various Internet service providers & international CERT teams to have the phishing sites taken offline as soon as they are reported.
Other fraudulent e-mail scams try to entice taxpayers to click their way to a fake IRS Web site & ask for bank account numbers. Another widespread e-mail scam tells taxpayers the IRS is holding a refund for them - frequently $63.80 - & seeking financial account info. Still another email claims the IRS's "anti-fraud commission" is investigating their tax returns.
More information on phishing scams using the IRS name, logo or other identifier can be found on the only genuine IRS Web site, IRS.gov, either at "IRS Warns Taxpayers of New E-mail Scams" or "Suspicious e-Mails and Identity Theft."

Pinal County Tax Levy & Rate Press Release:
If you think when you write your check out for your property taxes that all the money goes to Pinal County, you are mistaken. In fact, it’s only around 28 percent of you tax bill that goes to the County, while the rest goes to the other taxing entities (depending on where you live), such as school districts and incorporated cities and towns. In Wednesday’s Board meeting, the Supervisors unanimously approved the upcoming year’s tax rates and levies.
Although the Supervisors passed the FY 2007-2008 Budget on Wed., Aug 1st, the next step is to work with the various taxing entities and find out what their tax rate will be and if it is within legal limits. It’s a process that involves the Pinal Co. Treasurer, Assessor, School Superintendent & Budget Offices.
“It’s a huge task,” said Budget Director James Throop. “This is a process that is begun immediately after the budget is passed.”
The people in the Maricopa area will be pleased to note that the Maricopa Rural Road Improvement District tax has lapsed. Last year, residents were levied .7616 per $100 of assessed valuation. It is no longer on the books.
Mutual Aid Agreement will Help Residents
The Supervisors approved the Pinal Co. Law Enforcement Association Mutual Aid Agreement which will set the tone for better cooperation between the various emergency service providers in the County.
Pinal Co. Attorney James Walsh said that the agreement has been needed due to changes with newly incorporated areas & new service providers within the borders of the Co. This agreement looks to encourage increased cooperation & designate lines of authority in the case of an emergency. Walsh added that the agreement will be taken before each participating agencies governing board for approval.
“This agreement will help us preserve life & property for the residents of Pinal Co.” the County Attorney said.
Arizona Association of Counties Presents Update to Supervisors
Since 1968, the Arizona Association of Counties (AACo) has been an organization which advocates, researches & educates legislators on behalf of the 15 Counties inside Arizona. On Wednesday, AACo Executive Director Nicole Stickler & 2 members of the non-profit’s staff presented a brief update to the Supervisors on behalf of the organization.
Jennifer Sweeney, Government Affairs Specialist for AACo, said that lobbying efforts at the Capitol on behalf of its members thwarted some cost shifts from the State to the Counties. “We are always playing defense on behalf of the Counties when it comes to cost shifting,” Sweeney said.
Looking forward to the next legislative session in 2008, Sweeney said that plans are already being made to forward an agenda that will positively affect Arizona Counties. “We need you to help us prioritize legislative proposals & policy positions,” Sweeney said to the Supervisors. She added that the AACo Executive Board (which Treasurer Dodie Doolittle & Recorder Laura Dean-Lytle are members) will meet in Nov. to agree upon a legislative agenda & policy statements.
In looking at the 2008 legislative session, Sweeney noted that several hot topics could be in the hopper that would affect the Counties & their residents. She said that property tax reform, election procedures, immigration enforcement & possible cost shifting may very well be on the table for discussion by legislators.
