The California Department of Education (CDE) distributed approximately $16 million dollars in 2007-2008 to local educational agencies (LEAs) in formula-funded grants through Title II, Part D, Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT). Funds from this grant are used to assist eligible districts in using technology to enhance teaching and promote learning. Funds are allocated based upon each LEA's proportionate share of Title I, Part A funding. As a condition of funding, a CDE-approved technology plan is required. No application is needed. As long as the LEA has a current technology plan, the CDE will automatically generate and mail the grant award documents each year funding is available.
