<div dir="ltr">Hi Marie
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I saw your tweet on the WH CS announcement yesterday and am
happy to share what I know about how the funding will be
allocated. The largest piece of the funding is the amount
being contributed by the corporate sponsors such as Google
($10M per year over five years). Each company will disperse
its own funds on programs or philanthropic giving as it thinks
best. For us this likely means a continuation of support for
current and for new programs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The $200M from the government will be a redirection of
current funding within the DOE. So, this isn't new money or a
new program (no Race to the Top type program). Instead the
funding will be distributed via current programs. My guess is
that :</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><a
href="https://www2.ed.gov/programs/teacherincentive/index.html"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">Teacher Incentive
Fund</a></div>
<div><a
href="https://www2.ed.gov/programs/innovation/index.html"
target="_blank" style="font-size:12.8px"
moz-do-not-send="true">Investing in Innovation Fund</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>will be likely channels but I am a bit concerned that there
wil be other more ideologically focussed programs that will
also receive support. Proposals will be reviews using an
accumulating point system:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<ul style="font-size:12.8px">
<li style="margin-left:15px">+points for proposals that focus
on STEM<br>
</li>
<li style="margin-left:15px">++points for proposals that focus
on CS<br>
</li>
<li style="margin-left:15px">+++points for proposals that
focus on diversity</li>
</ul>
<div>You are right that there is a lot we still do not know <span
style="font-size:12.8px">and will not know until the
official guidance document is released. That's when we see
how the rubber will actually meet the road. And of course
there is no guarantee that this program will actually last
more than a year given the current political situation.</span></div>
