====================================== NCLB Title IID Basic Competitive Grants ======================================
The application form and guidance for the 5th round of funding from Enhancing Education Through Technology (NCLB Title IID) is now posted online at www.nheon.org/oet/nclb. Districts will note that this is a different application than in previous years due to the federal budget cuts and the changed legislation regarding competitive vs. formula funding. The deadline for proposals is October 31, 2006. A rubric for proposal evaluation is included in the application guidance.
