following ways:
1. A school district
or accredited nonpublic school, or a collaborative of one or more school
districts, accredited nonpublic schools, and area education agencies, may apply
to the department, in the manner prescribed by the department, to receive
moneys from the fund to provide proven professional development activities for
Iowa teachers in the area of computer science education.
2. A school district or accredited nonpublic
school may apply to the department, in the manner prescribed by the department,

teachers seeking endorsements or authorizations for computer science under Iowa
