- Position (3010402-09836) (1) PTNE Technical Aide (formerly Byrne Grant funded).
5. JABG funding has been discontinued effective September 30, 2006, therefore one position
(3010402-09711) is transferred from JABG to SCAO/Child Care Fund effective October 1,
2006.
6. The Byrne Grant funding was discontinued effective September 30, 2006 therefore two (2)
