We have extended the due date for the applications to May 8th, 2009.
|
Due Date: |
Applications must be postmarked by May 8, 2009 and mailed to: New York State Education Department
|
Description: |
The Title II Part D - Enhancing Education through Technology (EETT) competitive grant program is designed to achieve three major goals as outlined in NCLB:

Go to Attachment 1 for a list of all public school districts and charter schools with their percentage and number of children from families with incomes below the poverty line. The list also indicates which LEAs have school(s) in need of improvement (SINI) and which LEAs have a substantial need for assistance in acquiring and using technology. An “eligible local partnership” is a partnership that includes at least one high-need local educational agency and at least one:
Applications from partnerships/consortiums including multiple LEAs are strongly encouraged, to pool and share resources, experiences and expertise. Partnership/consortium applications will be given 10 extra preference points. Partnership applications must focus on addressing the needs of the school buildings and districts identified as in need of improvement within the partnership. A local education agency must be the fiscal agent of a partnership/consortium application. After consulting with the United States Department of Education, NYSED has determined that boards of cooperative educational services (BOCES) are local educational agencies for purposes of Title II Part D, though they do not qualify as “high-need local educational agencies.” Accordingly, a BOCES may serve as a fiscal agent of an eligible local partnership under section 2412(c) of the NCLB.
