Eligibility is limited to:
- Districts and direct-funded charter schools receiving Title I, Part A funding.
- Consortiums that include at least one high-need school district and other local educational agencies, institutions of higher education, educational service agencies, libraries, or other educational entities appropriate to provide local programs.
- Districts and direct-funded charter schools with a state-approved technology plan.
Please Note:
Districts that do not receive funds under Part A of Title I may
receive formula grant funds if they apply for funding in consortium
with a district that receives funds under Part A of Title I.
Districts must apply to receive the Title II, Part D formula-funded
grants by submitting a technology plan through their California Technology Assistance Project (CTAP) tech plan coordinator.
Districts should be aware that 25% of the funding must be spent
on professional development related to helping teachers use technology
as an effective tool to improve teaching and student achievement.
The balance of the funding may be spent on education technology
expenses in accordance to their approved education technology
plan. Districts will be able to decide how much funding to allocate
to each school and are not required to base this allocation on
the amount of Title I funding going to each school.
