The purpose of this grant is to provide funding to the NC New Schools Project to extend the Program Manager position for the NC 1:1 Learning Initiative through June 2011. Initial funding provided from the General Assembly will expire in February 2010 yet the implementation period for the pilot demonstration program continues for an additional 18 months. In addition, the program manager position will provide coaching, planning and oversight assistance for two technology initiatives in Vance County and a collaborative project between Weldon City/Roanoke Rapids/Halifax School Districts and a School Innovation project in Columbus County.
