KRS 157.660: Procedures for providing assistance for education technology.

The School Facilities Construction Commission shall be governed by the following

procedures in making an offer of assistance to local public school districts for providing

education technology:

(1) The base level of assistance to each eligible district shall be determined by dividing

the total amount available for education technology by the total of the prior year's

statewide average daily attendance of the eligible districts times the district's prior

year's average daily attendance.

(2) The funds shall be applied to the projects listed in the district's technology plan, and

the funds shall be applied to projects in the priority order listed on the plan except

as provided in KRS 157.65 5(2). The first priority for the expenditure of each new

offer of assistance shall be to meet the previous obligations of bonds, leases, or

other financial agreements made for education technology by the district.

(3) The commission shall establish adminis trative regulations by which a district that

receives an offer of assistance but does not have the local match shall be able to

accumulate a credit for the state offer of assistance for a period not to exceed three

(3) years.

(4) All unused state funds allocated according to the provisions of subsection (1) of this

section shall be reallocated by the commission. The reallocation shall follow the

process and intent as set forth in this section with eligible districts being those

districts which have the avai lable local matching funds and have not completely

implemented the Kentucky Education Technology System.
