Digital Equity and Inclusion Grant
OSPI recognizes that not every classroom or student has access to a high-speed Internet connection and other up-to-date teaching and learning technologies. An essential part of implementing OSPI’s educational technology standards is advocating for sufficient funding for all districts to help close opportunity gaps related to educational technology. Through the legislative support of House Bill 1365, OSPI will provide grants focused on digital equity and inclusion to support these standards.
These grants aim to:
Support digital learning environments
Grow and support 1:1 device programs
Provide access to training in inclusionary practices
Support English Language Learners and Special Education with adaptive technologies
Support students in accessing high-quality learning environments without physical limitations
Provide sustainability by creating frameworks, allowing for more staffing and professional development for equity and inclusionary practices
