The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (P.L. 107-110) established the Enhancing Education Through Technology (E2T2) Program. The primary goal of the Enhancing Education Through Technology Act of 2001 is to improve student academic achievement through the use of technology in elementary schools and secondary schools. Under the E2T2 program, the U.S. Department of Education provides grants to state educational agencies (SEAs). States may retain five percent of the allocation for administrative costs. The remaining 95% must be distributed to eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) according to the following: 50% of the remainder by formula grants; and 50% by competitive grants. The Mississippi Department of Education, Office of Educational Technology will be administering both grants.
