Education Technology K-12 Voucher Program Update
Submitted by Molly Large on Wed, 2007-12-05 09:05.

As of November 2007, the Education Technology K-12 Voucher program has
processed more than $16 million in reimbursement checks. There are three
major issues that affect processing time: 1) Vendor invoices MUST have a
statement regarding "standard academic pricing"; 2) claim forms must be
signed by one of the people listed in the original application as an
authorized signature; and 3) original invoices, or an approved exemption to
the original invoice, must be submitted with the request for reimbursement.

The expected increase to the initial $250 million allocation has been further
delayed. The increase will be announced no earlier than the end of February.

Districts should visit the Settlement Claims Administrator website for
district balance sheets, product eligibility questions, voucher redemption
issues, and contact information:
