So is this money going to the states in block grants or to the E2T2
Consortium directors or to the school/district level?

Subject: Great Breaking News...EETT funds under Economic Recovery Act
will flow by July (not Oct ), 2009
GREAT LATE-BREAKING NEWS
CoSN Members:
Yesterday we learned that the first part of the Enhancing Education
Through Technology (EETT/Title IID) funding under the American
Recovery & Reinvestment Act will be released by July. This
announcement was made by Marshall “Mike” Smith, Senior Counselor to
the U.S. Secretary of Education to the state education technology
directors.
Earlier announcements from the U.S. Department of Education indicated
the first round of EETT funding would be distributed October 1st.
CoSN and other education technology associations have expressed
concern that delaying the funds until October was problematic and
would slow down the stimulus effect and not match the school year
deployment of technology.
Congratulations on a major victory for education technology!
