Q: Will the slides or recording be posted for this technical assistance session?

A: The Office of Grants Management will either post a PDF or video link.

Q: According to the RFP The grant is only 10 month from June to March, not from April 1st, right??

A: The Expanding Access to Computer Science Professional Learning grant opportunity is expected to run for 10 months with the following grant periods:

• 10 Month, Grant period 6/1/24 to 3/31/25
• Planning 6/1 to 6/30
• Implementation 7/3/24 to 3/31/25

Q: We are reviewing the NGO for the Expanding Computer Science Professional Learning grant, and we noticed a discrepancy with the amount of budget that can be dedicated for the lending library:

- On Page 15, it states "The total amount budgeted for the computing devices must not exceed $30,000." 

- On Page 20, it states "Lending Library – Costs of small physical computing devices (i.e., microcontrollers and other low-cost devices) for participating teachers. Total equipment costs may not exceed $50,000." 

Can you clarify which amount is correct?

A: Lending Library – Costs of small physical computing devices (i.e., microcontrollers and other low-cost devices) for participating teachers. Total equipment costs may not exceed $50,000. This should include a description and plan for establishing and managing a lending library consisting of low-cost, small computing devices, such as microcontrollers, robots, and other instructional resources.
