RE: No
Child Left Behind Act Title IID, Enhancing Education Through Technology (Ed
Tech) Competitive Grants
Date: December
17, 2002
On
July 11, 2002 the Maine Department of Education was awarded a grant under the No
Child Left Behind Act Title IID, Enhancing Education Through Technology (Ed
Tech) Program. As part of that grant, the Department of Education is required
to award one half of the proceeds, minus 5% of the total retained for technical
assistance and administration, in competitive grants.
Under
the legislation, only Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) that meet the
requirements under Title IID are eligible to submit competitive grant proposals.
These include LEAs deemed as “High Need”, meaning the LEA has a “Priority
School” identified using the Maine Department of Education Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP) calculation for 2001. LEAs with the highest numbers or
percentages of children from families with income below the poverty line also
are eligible.
The
term “poverty line”, for the purposes of this grant, means the poverty line (as
defined by the Office of Management and Budget and revised annually in
accordance with section 673(2) of the Community Services Block Grant Act)
applicable to a family of the size involved (ESEA Section 9101(33)). (See the U.S. Census website at http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/saipe/schooltoc.html).
Sixty-four
LEAs have been determined to qualify as eligible, including 17 “Priority
Schools,” and they have been sent a Request For Proposals (RFP). The list of
LEAs eligible to submit an RFP follows and appears on the Department’s web site
http://www.maine.gov/education/nclb/IID
Proposals may
also be submitted by Eligible Local Partnerships that include: at least one
“High-Need” LEA; institutes of higher education; for-profit businesses or
organizations that develop, design, manufacturer, or produce technology
products; public or private non-profit organizations with demonstrated
experience in application of educational technology to instruction. Eligible
Local Partnerships may include other LEAs, educational service agencies,
libraries or other educational entities appropriate to provide local programs.

Maine Department of Education web site or contact Bob McIntire at the
Department. His telephone number is 624-6778 or e-mail bob.mcintire@state.me.us
