5A participants are those who will begin the training program in July 2007. Cohort
5B participants are those hired after July 13, 2007 and will begin
the training program in December 2007.
All PACE Cohort 5 participants are required to complete all stages of the training program.

The State Department of Education is trying to accommodate all eligible participants; however, early registration is encouraged to assure your place in the training.
Once participants have successfully completed the pre-service at Lugoff-Elgin High School, they will continue the training in one of the training locations listed below.
