ISEE Phase II District Grant Opportunity

The Idaho State Department of Education is deploying the Idaho System for Educational Excellence (ISEE), a K-12 Longitudinal Data System that supports classroom instruction, streamlined data submissions, and provides information to education stakeholders to facilitate data driven decision making. This grant competition represents a component of ISEE Phase II, which includes the deployment of Idaho’s Instructional Management System (IMS), to districts most ready to benefit. Idaho’s IMS is Schoolnet and is the tool through which ISEE data is mined and made accessible. The application and scoring rubric are now available for downloading.

Announcement- grantees may request an extension of the deadline for application submission (from January 17, 2012 to January 31, 2012). Requests should be submitted to: mamccarter@sde.idaho.gov. Include contact information in the request.
