Grant writing for a school technology initiative

Write a grant proposal to fund a 1:1 Chromebook initiative. Proposal Sections: 1. Needs Statement: Use data to demonstrate the need (e.g., current device-to-student ratio, state testing requirements, digital divide statistics). 2. Project Description: Detail the plan to provide a Chromebook for every student, including implementation timeline, professional development for teachers, and digital citizenship curriculum. 3. Goals and Objectives: State clear, measurable goals (e.g., 'By Year 2, 100% of students will have access to a device, and teachers will integrate technology in 75% of lessons'). 4. Budget: Provide a detailed line-item budget for devices, cases, management software, and teacher training stipends. 5. Evaluation Plan: Explain how you will measure the project's success (e.g., usage data, teacher surveys, student achievement data). Research potential funders (local foundations, tech company grants).
