The deadline for transmittal of applications was May 27, 1998. On May 24, 1998, the area surrounding Deer Creek and Lamont, Oklahoma was struck by numerous tornadoes that caused significant [[Page 34637]] damage. The school district suffered damage to its facilities and was without electricity and water for days. During this period, school facilities served as a temporary shelter and a center for local assistance efforts. As a result of this disaster, district officials were unable to tend to usual business. The district has requested that the U.S. Department of education extend by one day the deadline for submission of its application for Goals 2000 funding. In light of the information provided by the district, the Assistant Secretary has extended until May 28, 1998 the deadline by which the Deer Creek-- Lamont School District may file an application for fiscal years 1997 and 1998 Goals 2000 funding.
