This amendment removes a paragraph that includes language directing the Department of Education to create a workgroup to review the Department's Virginia Digital Textbook Marketplace contract and guidelines for the implementation of the pilot projects established in eight school divisions in the 2015-2016 school year and review the effectiveness of the pilots at the end of the year for improving academic success. The technology associated with these pilot projects was not implemented fully enough in the 2015-2016 school year for adequate evaluation, and it will take more operational time and school division participation before the effectiveness of the pilot projects can be evaluated. The paragraph also has the workgroup review other educational technology and repurposing of educational technology grants which the Department of Education is either already implementing or has already studied. In addition, other workgroup study requirements in this language can be addressed by another paragraph placed under the Department of Education to holistically review the statewide use of technology in the classroom and all sources of digital content development and online learning.
