Purpose: The Kids Officially OnLine (KOOL) grant program consists of pilot projects that include ten online courses among ten lead agencies (LEAs) within the state. The online course is targeted to one or more grades – six through twelve. The online course is offered in year one of the grant program within a minimum of two school districts, the lead agency LEA and a partner LEA, and will be completed by students no later than June 30, 2005. The lead agency facilitates the grant-related activities and collaborates with all involved partners. The partners are responsible for active participation in the planning of all activities facilitated by the lead agent. The level of the partners’ involvement is that which is agreed upon by all partners involved in the grant program. In the second year of the grant program, LEAs will continue to offer the same online course or under extenuating circumstances offer a different online course, evaluate the entire implementation process, modify the implementation based on the lessons learned in year one, and offer the course to more students than in year one. The students may be from within the current school district and/or enrolled in an LEA where a newly established partnership is formed.

Eligible Agencies: Only the agencies that received awards through the competitive process under the originating NGO are eligible to apply for continuation funding. Those agencies are listed in Appendix A of the NGO.
