The Advisory Council for School-to-Work Opportunities; Notice of 
Renewal

    In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the 
Secretaries of Labor and Education have renewed the charter for the 
Advisory Council for School-to-Work Opportunities.
    The Advisory Council for School-to-Work Opportunities shall provide 
advice to the Departments of Education and Labor on a number of matters 
pertaining to implementation of the School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 
1994. The Council shall be responsible for: Assessing the progress of 
School-to-Work Opportunities systems development and program 
implementation toward achieving the goals for the School-to-Work 
Opportunities initiative; providing feedback and making recommendations 
to the Executive Committee regarding the progress and direction of 
implementation of the School-to-Work Opportunities initiative; advising 
the Executive Committee on the effectiveness of the Federal role in 
providing venture capital to States and localities to develop School-
to-Work systems; and reporting periodically to the Executive Committee 
on emerging issues, actions, and findings and providing input into 
policy issues, as requested.
    The Council will meet two times a year. It will be composed of 
approximately 40 members, with the following representation: educators, 
employers, labor, community groups, the general public, students 
(secondary and post-secondary), parents, State officials (current 
Governors, State legislators, State STWO officials), and local 
officials (mayors, county administrators, local STWO officials). None 
of these members shall be deemed to be employees of the United States.
    The Council will report to the Departments of Education and Labor 
through the School-to-Work Opportunities Executive Committee, composed 
of senior executive Federal officials from the Departments of Education 
and Labor. It will function solely as an advisory body and in 
compliance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
    Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding the 
renewal of The Advisory Council for School-to-Work Opportunities. Such 
comments should be addressed to: Stephanie Powers, National School-to-
