The National Education Foundation (NEF) wishes to engage in a conversation with state budget officers interested in assisting school districts to acquire $1.0 billion in funding set aside for Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (QZAB) for K-12 school districts. These funds can be used for renovation, energy efficiency, technology, curriculum and professional development.  At the request of the U.S. Government, NEF, a national nonprofit organization that provides online education to students and jobseekers in the U.S. and abroad, has agreed to help QZAB-eligible school districts meet the following two QZAB federal law mandates:
