The Request for Proposal (RFP) announcement was distributed through various communication outlets including: Florida Department of Education (FDOE) communication system, regional and local newspapers, formal press release, announcement on the FDOE website, major statewide educational publications, and radio and television stations to ensure all prospective eligible providers had access to the same standardized information. An annual webinar was conducted to review the grant application process and facilitate any questions from prospective eligible providers. Grant application procedures were the same for all eligible providers.
