The Florida Department of Education QZAB funds are accessible to school districts who are looking for funds for rehabilitating or repairing their facilities, specifically for renewable energy efforts. These funds can also help in the purchase of equipment, instructional components and providing teacher/administrative personnel professional development. The Florida Department of Education has $ 74 million allocated for the statewide QZAB program.

National Education Foundation (NEF), the national non-profit leader in assisting schools to locate Federal funds, announced right now a nationwide initiative to award matching grants of up to $ 2,000,000 every single to any Florida school districts with at least 35% of students on free or decreased cost lunch. NEF grants focus on helping schools get required funds and bridging the academic divides via successful STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education options.

Dr. Appu Kuttan, Chairman of the National Education Foundation (NEF), worldwide professional in digital education and empowerment, and the recent University of Wisconsin Distinguished Achievement Award winner, states, “College districts across the Nation are faced with serious price range cuts at a time US rankings in math, reading and science are still going down. Twenty 4 nations are ranked ahead of US in math. Our $ one hundred million grant plan would offer school districts the required 10% match, and hence enable them to acquire $ 1 billion in Federal QZAB funds (http://www.qzab.org) for energy efficiency, renovation, technologies, teacher instruction and STEM academies. Additionally, schools located in low income communities could receive extra Federal cash grants.”

In addition to the ten% match grant, NEF aids the school districts to generate QZAB STEM+ academies capable of advancing a student 1 grade level in a topic in 20-30 finding out hours in the NEF technique, as documented by the State University of NY (SUNY), which implements the academies nationally with a grant from NEF.
President Bill Clinton has commended NEFs STEM+ academy system, “You are helping to empower tomorrow’s leaders. I salute you for your ongoing commitment for creating a greater and stronger America.”

According to Misty Weber, the QZAB academy program director at the Warren County School District in PA, NEF helped us to obtain $ 34 million in QZAB funds for renovating our school facilities. In addition, NEFs QZAB academy, implemented by SUNY, helped our students to advance a grade level in in math in 22 finding out hours. NEF also set up a parent academy to train our parents in job expertise, as well as a teacher academy to improve our teachers teaching abilities.

In the higher school for at-threat students in Virginias Prince William County, the graduation rate went up from 61% to 87%.

Kirsten DeMento, Curriculum Director of New Yorks Watervliet college district says, “NEF grant supplies a total learning answer which includes differentiated finding out employing the leading-rated Pearson SuccessMaker and GradPoint courses, mentoring, teacher training and teacher-parent-student motivational incentives.”

The NEF STEM program, formulated at the Clinton Global Initiative in Chicago, also creates college-college-organization partnerships to provide world-class STEM+ academies for disadvantaged schools at no expense to the schools.
