EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The provider has fulfilled the original contract of 640 hours ($38.84 per hour for a total of $25,531.24), but due to the technical nature of the grant there is a need for additional site visits to the five schools involved (Village of Excellence Charter School; Bing, Potter, and West Tampa Elementary Schools; Madison Middle School; and Robinson High School), we are requesting approval of the addendum to the Agreement for Technical Services for Mrs. Betancourt to fulfill the role of assisting and monitoring the intricacies of the grant. If approved, the provider will continue to provide professional expertise to support these schools. Services will include collection of survey data, arranging and conducting trainings as outlined in the grant, and conducting bi-weekly visits to the participating school sites. The original
The Enhancing Education Through Technology – “Leveraging Laptops: Effective Models for Enhancing Student Achievement” Grant is a one year $1,012,722.96 competitive grant which will prepare students to enter adulthood with the 21st Century Skills necessary to be productive citizens. This grant promotes cross-grade collaboration using a variety of tool-based software, laptops, and Palm handheld devices to transform the learning environment at school and at home. One example of such collaboration is participating charter, elementary, middle, and high school students will utilize technology across the curriculum to provide emergency preparedness information to local, state, and national Emergency Operations Centers.
