The California Department of Education (CDE) distributes to local educational agencies (LEAs) federal formula-funded grants through Title II, Part D, Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT). Grant awards are to be used to assist eligible districts in using technology to enhance teaching and promote learning. Funds are allocated to LEAs that receive funds under Part A of Title I. The amount of EETT formula funding an LEA receives is based on its proportionate share of funds it receives under Part A of Title I. Further, as a condition for 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.

EETT Formula Grant: 2009-2010
In May-2007 and August-2007, both houses of Congress introduced legislation that would make significant improvements to the Enhancing Education Through Technology (EETT) program as part of the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act, better targeting the educational needs of today’s students through technology. This legislation is known as the Achievement Through Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) Act. Specifically, the ATTAIN Act would improve the existing EETT program by boosting funding to a $3,000 minimum for all LEAs under the formula grants and increases the portion of formula-grants set aside for teacher professional development from 25 percent to 40 percent.The bill aims to make sure students are technologically literate before the end of 8th grade. ATTAIN is currently referred to the Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education.EETT Formula Grant: 2008-2009
Funding will be about 1.75% less than the amounts funded in 2007-08. Award notification documents are being prepared (pending approval of the state budget). Effective 2008-09 and thereafter, the payment method for EETT formula grants have been changed from an advance basis to a reimbursement basis. EETT formula funds will be disbursed upon the filing of a completed End Of Period (EOP) Expenditure Report, which can be filed once grant funds have been fully expended but no later than 03-Sep-2010.EETT Formula Grant: 2007-2008
Funding for the 2007-2008 EETT Formula Grant was the same as 2006-2007. Grant awards will need to be fully expended and/or obligated by 30-June-2009. The EOP due date to the CDE is 11-Sep-2009. The remaining 15% of the grant award will be paid upon approval of the EOP.
