Technology Grants. Technology Supplemental Stipend In a school year where a Technology levy has been passed and there are technology funds in the school budget, a $500 per teacher technology stipend will be available to teachers for training or purchasing of equipment. The grants are provided for the purpose of supporting educators as they work to complete technology requirements. This grant process ensures that our limited time and resources are being used to their fullest potential, are complementary to the direction of the district’s technology plan, and meet the widely varied technology needs of the staff. Each certified staff member will have a $500 technology grant available for the staff member’s use: ○ The staff member must apply for the grant by filling out a simple one-page, online form including budget, timeline, plan, and expected results. ○ The grant may be applied to reimbursement for time, equipment, training, substitute or conference costs. ○ Classroom budget funds may be included in this grant application to purchase capital items. Classroom budget funds may not be used for training, conferences, substitute costs, or compensation. ○ Items purchased with either fund source are the property of La Xxxxxx School District. ○ The District Technology Committee, or members appointed by the District Technology Committee, will approve or reject grants. ○ Grant applications will be accepted August through December. ○ Grants will be accepted up until the last day of each month and approved or returned for adjustments by the 10th of the following month. ○ If accepted, the monies will be available immediately for purchases. Compensation will be paid in December, or when the grant work is finished whichever is later. Note that it is recommended that the grant applicant discuss their grant with committee members prior to submitting to ensure the likelihood that grants are approved without adjustments. ○ After the December grant process any remaining money will be reverted to a pool that can be applied to district-wide technology purchases, or made available for additional grant applications at the Technology Committee’s discretion. (The $500 cap need not apply to subsequent grants).
