The Georgia Universal Grant Package is available to all public and charter middle schools and high schools in the state of Georgia.

ESE Networks does require a set of deliverables from each grant recipient. Some examples of these are:

• Design and implement digital content which satisfies the minimum requirements for placements on the ESE Networks website and searchable map.
• Produce and upload at least one curriculum video per week throughout the two year active grant period.
• Respond to surveys and requests for information to assist ESE Networks with monitoring, audit and other oversight activities as required by the Georgia Department of Education.
• Use respective asset management practices for all equipment received during the lifetime of the grant, at a minimum tagged and inventories made available for visual inspection during any CTAE Monitoring & Risk Assessment Reviews

Qualified schools will receive a “Studio in a Box” outline above that will enable them to film and broadcast high-quality, HD video as well as access to the ESE Networks platform for two years. Access also includes 1 TB of storage space and 24/7 ESE technical support.

Once your school is accepted, ESE Networks will contact you to schedule a time when we can deliver the equipment either on-site or at an ESE Networks Regional Training.

Once equipment has been delivered, you will have a basic knowledge and understanding of the hardware and software included in the “Studio in a Box”. However, to fully utilize the equipment we will schedule a 1-on-1 training over the phone for a later date. We usually are in contact with our schools the same day we deliver equipment.

NO! The beauty of this grant is that it is for any traditional public school or charter school in the state of Georgia. Even if your school doesn’t have a video broadcast department, our training and 24/7 technical support team will have you and your school up and running at full potential. We want you to succeed, and will be there every step along the way.
