====================================== NCLB Title IID Grants ====================================== http://www.nheon.org/oet/nclb/
Districts recently received notification of additional funds available from round 3 and have sent in revised budget forms with requests for the funds. In addition, the Round 4 grants continue to be reviewed. If your district has NOT sent an application for round 4 yet, time has just about run out! You must send your applications ASAP! Visit the website link above for the application information. Also posted is a Current Applications Status list by district, which will indicate if your application has been received, is reviewed, or has some missing items. Contact Cathy Higgins if you have questions via email at chiggins@ed.state.nh.us.

====================================== ANNUAL TECHNOLOGY SURVEYS ====================================== http://www.nheon.org/oet/survey
The annual tech survey for schools was split into two surveys this year. One survey is for DISTRICTS and another is for EACH SCHOOL within a district. Links and a password to the survey were sent to ONE person at each district and/or SAU. Email Cathy Higgins if you have questions.
A list of surveys completed by district and school will be posted periodically over the next month. Visit the link above for this and other survey information.

Requests from service providers to disseminate information about their technology products and services using the electronic newsletter ET News can no longer be accommodated due to workload priorities in OET.
