157.655 Education technology program.
(1)
(2)
(3)
To participate in the education technology funding program, a local public
school district shall have an unmet technology need described in its local
district technology plan and approved by the Kentucky Board of Education
pursuant to its technology master plan, and shall match equally the amount of
funds offered by the School Facilities Construction Commission for this
purpose each biennium, except as provided in subsection (2) of this section.
Technology approved for the Kentucky Education Technology System and
included in the local district technology plan, which was acquired prior to April
3, 1992, and for which the district has an outstanding financial obligation, shall
qualify for commission funding. This provision shall not apply to any purchases
or contracts made between April 3, 1992, and the first offers of assistance
recommended by the Council for Education Technology to the State Board for
Elementary and Secondary Education.
For fiscal year 1992-93, funding shall be allotted to districts without an
approved plan upon the recommendation of the Council for Education
Technology to the State Board for Elementary and Secondary Education.
If a local board of education determines that for any reason the district's
approved technology plan is grossly inconsistent with the administrative
regulations governing the development of the plan, the local board may certify,
by official action, the reason for the inconsistency and may request that the
Department of Education reevaluate the technology plan of the district. After
review of the data, the chief state school officer may require a reevaluation and
the approval of a new technology plan certified prior to an official offer from the
School Facilities Construction Commission. If the chief state school officer
elects to recommend the new technology plan to the Kentucky Board of
Education, the board shall notify the School Facilities Construction Commission
of any change required in the offer of assistance for the district.
