Education Technology K-12 Voucher Program Update

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.
