ARRA: Vermont Distance Learning Initiative Request for Proposal (RFP)
This RFP represents a significant effort by the Vermont Department of Education to use funding from the ARRA for lasting change on the Vermont education landscape. While virtual learning at our schools in the state is not necessarily new, it has not been universally implemented. The focus of this grant is to select a Vermont-based entity to organize, manage and lead a statewide distance learning initiative that will support all Vermont schools in their efforts to deliver and eventually develop both virtual learning curriculum and opportunities for students that extend beyond the classroom and the school walls. This is a statewide implementation and will require a group or group of entities that can demonstrate the capacity necessary to successfully implement and deliver a sustainable model as we move forward in transforming our schools. NOTE: There will be a requirement for applicants to attend an hour-long session at Vermont Fest on November 6 as well.

Vermont Solar in Schools Initiative: Request for Proposals (Added 9/28/09)
In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy, the Vermont Department of Education offers Vermont public schools the opportunity to compete to become one of up to ten schools hosting solar power educational programs. It is the department's intention to ultimately fund the installation of solar photovoltaic systems at school sites, and that these small-scale projects will be at the center of some exciting K-12 cross-discipline curriculum modules, teacher professional development and workforce development activities. By offsetting a modest amount of fossil-fuel-generated electricity, this project will add a green component to school buildings. More importantly, it will train people in solar power technology, strengthen science curricula in alignment with grade expectations and provide an opportunity for project-based, hands-on learning. Ideally, the funds will be granted to teams of elementary and middle schools, high schools and career and technical centers collaborating to bring a continuum of educational opportunities to their communities.
