TITLE 5. EDUCATION
DIVISION 9. SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION
CHAPTER 1. EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY GRANT PROGRAM
This database is current through 01/26/07, Register 2007, No. 4
s 90004. Calculation of Grants.

(a) The priority for the distribution of funds shall be as follows:

(1) The first priority shall be eligible schools serving grades
9-12 that provide three (3) or fewer Advanced Placement courses, and
that need hardware, infrastructure or wiring that is not available
from other sources to achieve connectivity to on-line Advanced
Placement classes.

(2) The second priority shall be eligible schools serving students
in grades 9- 12 that have a projected student-to-multimedia computer
ratio, as defined in section 90002(b)(5) of these regulations, of
greater than 5:1.

(3) The third priority, if any funds remain from this one-time
allocation, shall be eligible schools serving grades 9-12 that have
a projected student-to-multimedia computer ratio, as defined in
section 90002(b)(5) of these regulations, of equal to or less than
5:1.

(b) The Secretary for Education, upon receipt of the reports from CTAP,
shall:

(1) Calculate the funds necessary for each Priority One school to
provide Advanced Placement content online, in order to ensure that
each Priority One school can offer a total of four or more Advanced
Placement courses.

(2) Calculate the funds required to reduce the projected ratio of
students-to-computers in each eligible Priority Two school, based on
an allocation of $1500 per computer. The Secretary for Education has
set a preliminary goal of reducing all Priority Two schools to a 5:1
ratio. However, the Secretary for Education retains the authority to
adjust the ratio to a higher or lower ratio, depending on the
results of the CTAP survey, in order to remain within the $175
million in one-time funds allocated for this program. Allocations
shall be made in such a manner as to improve or maintain an equal
ratio across all eligible high schools.

(3) Allocate Priority Three grants, based on an allocation of $1500
per computer, should any funds remain after funding the Priority One
and Priority Two eligible schools. Allocations shall be made in such
a manner as to improve or maintain an equal ratio across all
eligible high schools.

(c) Once the calculations required in subparagraph (b) are completed, the
Secretary for Education shall notify eligible schools or districts in
writing of the amounts allocated for each eligible school, and notify
eligible schools or districts of the student-to-multimedia computer ratio
they will be expected to reach with the amount of funding provided.
Schools may elect to participate pursuant to Section 90005 of these
regulations.
