Dear Superintendents,
In support of the implementation of the Equity in Digital Learning Act (EDLA) (SB3044), the MDE has prepared three Digital Learning Plan Templates that together pose 40 questions for you to address in your Digital Learning Plan. Districts will need to complete all three templates. We will be discussing these during this afternoon’s webinar and offering follow up planning webinars to guide you through the completion of these templates.:
- ELDA Digital Learning Plan – Technical
- ELDA Digital Learning Plan – Policy, Teaching and Content
- ELDA Digital Learning Plan – Special Education and Populations
These templates grew out of the original Digital Learning District Guidance Document the MDE shared with you in April.
The MDE has also prepared the EDLA application form. All found documents, along with additional documentation which we will discuss during this afternoon’s webinar will be due to the MDE by September 1, 2020 in order to establish eligibility for reimbursement under SB3044. Early submissions will be accepted, but late submissions will be rejected in accordance with SB3044.
