This cooperating arrangement has been in effect since 1988. This grant award is made on the above grant application. This grant award will provide funding for a pilot project to train K-12 and college classroom instructors on the Internet tools that could be integrated into classroom instruction.

Additional funding is anticipated to continue the project through two additional years.
This allocation is approximately 2 of the project cost. Ms. Grimes moved and Mr. Renner seconded a motion to approve the Consent Agenda.
