SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Public School Educational Technology Grants Program and Fund. Establishes, with such funds as are appropriated for this purpose, the Virginia Public School Educational Technology Grants Program and Trust Fund to provide grants to eligible school divisions for educational technology, including infrastructure, software, and hardware acquisitions and replacement, and innovative programs to advance the effectiveness of educational technology. This program, which will be administered by the Board of Education, will be funded through the Virginia Public School Educational Technology Trust Fund, a nonreverting fund established on the books of the Comptroller and managed by the State Treasurer, subject to the authority of the Board of Education. The amount of such educational technology grants must be matched by funds of the qualifying school division based on the locality's composite index of ability to pay. In awarding such grants, the Board must take into consideration any other state or federal grants which may have been applied for or awarded for the same projects. Grants shall be awarded upon a determination of the Governor of the appropriate funding source and amounts for the Fund. The Board shall issue guidelines for the administration of the Program which must include, but are not limited to, compliance with other law or Board requirements for educational technology, the application for a grant from the Fund, the innovations included in the proposal, and other criteria as established by the Board. Funds appropriated for financial assistance for the purposes of this chapter must be apportioned and distributed among the school divisions of the Commonwealth in accordance with eligibility and needs criteria to be established by the Board.
