other than semiannually. The returns shall

EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY TRUST FUND The foregoing appropriation item 228-602, Education
Technology Trust Fund, shall be used by the SchoolNet Commission
for grants to school districts and other entities and for the
costs of administering these grants. Of the total amount for
grants, $1,917,293 in fiscal year 2003 shall be used for the Ohio
ONEnet project, $909,247 in fiscal year 2003 shall be used for the
INFOhio Network, $298,750 in fiscal year 2003 shall be used for
the JASON Project, $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2003 shall be used
for RISE Learning Solutions, and $200,000 in fiscal year 2003
shall be used for the Stark County School Teacher Technical
Training Center. The remaining amount for grants shall be made to
school districts.
The JASON Project shall provide funding for statewide access
and a seventy-five per cent subsidy for statewide licensing of
JASON content
for 90,000 middle school students statewide, and
professional
development for teachers participating in the JASON
Project. It is the intent of the General Assembly that the SchoolNet
Commission, in conjunction with RISE Learning Solutions, shall
develop a program that may be conducted in conjunction with
state-supported technology programs, including, but not limited
to,
SchoolNet Commission appropriation item 228-406, Technical and
Instructional Professional Development, and appropriation item
228-539, Education Technology, and that shall be designed to
educate preschool staff
members and providers on developmentally
appropriate teaching
methods, behavior guidance, and literacy and
to involve parents
more closely in the education and development
of their children.
The program shall include an interactive
instructional component,
delivered using satellite television,
Internet, and with
facilitation, and shall be distributed to
program participants
using the established satellite receiver
dishes on public schools,
Head Start centers, and childcare
centers at up to 100 locations
throughout the state. The
interactive instructional component of the program shall
be
developed to enhance the professional development, training,
and
performance of preschool staff members, the education and
care-giving skills of the parents of preschool children, and the
preparation of preschool-age children for learning. The program shall utilize the grant to continue a
direct-service component that shall include at least three
teleconferences that may be distributed by Ohio-based public
television utilizing satellite or microwave technology in a manner
designed to promote interactive communications between the program
participants located at subsites within the Ohio Educational
Broadcast Network or as determined by the commission. Program
participants shall communicate with trainers and participants at
other program sites through telecommunications and facsimile and
on-line computer technology. As much as possible, the
direct-service component
shall utilize systems currently available
in state-supported
technology programs and conduct the component
in a manner that
promotes innovative, interactive communications
between program
participants at all the sites. Parent support
groups and teacher
training sessions shall supplement the
teleconferences and shall
occur on a local basis. RISE Learning Solutions may subcontract components of the
program. Individuals eligible to participate in the program include
those children, their parents, custodians, or guardians, and
preschool staff members who are eligible to participate in a
preschool program as defined in division (A) of section 3301.52
and section 5104.02 of the Revised Code. The components of the program, including two that shall be
developed in support of
teacher proficiency in teaching reading to
prekindergarten and
kindergarten to third grade students, at the
direction of the
Department of Education, may include: two
three-hour broadcast
seminars from a central up-link station,
distributed in up to 88
counties; high production-value video
sought in various locations;
and direct interactive adult learning
activities. These two components shall include development of
workbooks and involve at least three small,
group-facilitated
follow-up discussion workshops and development
and distribution of
at least two home videos. The program shall
also provide Internet
access, interactive lines, bulletin board,
and CD-ROM.
Upon completion of each of the school years for which the
grant was made, RISE Learning Solutions shall issue a report to
the commission and members of the General Assembly explaining the
goals and objectives determined, the activities implemented, the
progress made toward the achievement of the goals and objectives,
and the outcome of the program. The commission shall use the remaining appropriation
authority in fiscal year 2003 and appropriation authority granted
in fiscal year 2004 to establish and equip, through the SchoolNet
Plus Program, at least one interactive computer station for each
five children enrolled in the sixth grade as determined by a
three-year average adjusted per pupil property valuation pursuant
to division (A) of section 3317.03 of the Revised Code. Districts
in the first two quartiles of wealth shall receive $380 per pupil
for students in grade six to purchase classroom computers for the
sixth grade. Districts in the third and fourth quartile shall
receive
approximately $188 per sixth grade pupil. If a district
has met the
state's goal of one computer to every five students,
the district
may use funds provided through the SchoolNet Plus
Program to
purchase computers for grade seven or to fulfill
educational
technology needs on other grades as specified in the
district's
technology plan. When there is at least one computer
for each five
children enrolled in the sixth grade, SchoolNet
shall use any
remaining funds appropriated to establish and equip
at least one
interactive computer workstation for each five
children enrolled
in the seventh grade as determined by the
previously defined
formula.
