Return to Learning Technology Grants - 2012

Each eligible proposal will be reviewed by two reviewers. Each reviewer will score the proposal according to the indicated point criteria. If individual scores are more than 20 points apart, a third reviewer will rate the application. The two scores closest in numeric value will be added and averaged to compute the final average score for each proposal.

Only those proposals that receive a final average score of 70 or higher will be considered for funding. Applications will be separated into three categories; New York City, the Big Four (Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Yonkers), all other public school districts in ROS, BOCES, and consortia thereof. Proposals will be placed in the appropriate category according to their final average score from highest to lowest. $1,785,000 will be set aside for New York City schools, $750,000 for the Big Four, and $750,000 for the schools in the rest of the state.

Funds in the amount of the adjusted budget, not to exceed $50,000 per grant, will be awarded in each category for qualifying proposals in descending order starting with the highest ranked proposal until the total amount of funds set aside for that category are insufficient to fully fund the next ranking proposal in that category. The next ranked applicant in that category will then be given the option of receiving partial funding for a reduced program.

After all applicants with a final average score of 70 or more in a particular category are funded, any remaining funds will be distributed proportionately to the other category (ies).
