Frequently Asked Questions

What is an implementation plan and what should be included in one?​

  • At a minimum, the grantee will maintain and submit to TEA an implementation plan that contains the following: ​
  • LEA contact for the license implementation​
    • Acknowledgments from campus administrators where the MSC licenses are to be used (answered via the survey)​
    • Campus information and contact for license implementation (answered via the survey)​
    • Total licenses required for each campus (answered via the survey)​
    • Schedules for dedicated time and use case for allocated licenses (details to come)​
    • A data monitoring plan for student progress as well as usage monitoring at the campus and district level (details to come)​
    • Planning and intended use of these licenses in a summer program (answered in application) ​

What if I want to reduce or increase the number of licenses requested from the application?​

  • After award notifications have been sent, license requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the program staff. Please create a ticket HERE. Select “General Questions” and then “Submit a Request”. In the subject line, please include your LEA name and MSC licenses (ex: Harvard ISD Additional MSC License Request). In the description field, please indicate how many licenses you are requesting and your preferred provider(s). Once we receive your request, we will reach out with additional details.

What if a portion of our students do not access (log into) licenses we have requested?​

  • This may cause a reduction in licenses for the duration of the grant. ​

What if a portion of our students do not meet minimum usage requirements?​

  • This will decrease the grantee's priority in renewal for year 2 and may reduce overall licenses that are provided. ​
