formula funds to districts are based on Title I allotments. 25%
of funds received by districts must be used for professional development.
PD services purchased from Local Support Centers can qualify as
part of this. Other programs that meet criteria for high quality

can use remaining funds to address hardware and support needs, such
as lowering the ratio of students to modern multimedia computers
and increasing support staff for training and technical assistance.

awards to districts are based on criteria aligned to state
ed tech plan. The bulk of these funds are used to fund Local
Support Centers across the state which will meet the needs
of school districts within about a 30 mile radius, demonstrate
commitment to work with NHDOE by taking a leadership role
on at least one statewide initiative (e-grants, LoTI,
Competency Based Assessment, virtual
high schools,
PD calendar).
Center
services offered can include: tech planning assistance, PD
services related to best use of technology tools and resources,
summer courses/camps, research and evaluation.
