Pursuant to Executive Order 13870 of
May 2, 2019, as published in the Federal Register at 84 Fed. Reg.
20,523 – 20,527 (May 9, 2019)(Executive Order 13870), the
Department, in consultation with the Deputy Assistant to the
President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism and the
National Science Foundation, has developed and implemented,
consistent with applicable law, an annual Presidential
Cybersecurity Education Award to be presented to one elementary and
one secondary school educator per year who best instill skills,
knowledge, and passion with respect to cybersecurity and
cybersecurity-related subjects. The Department will solicit
nominations for the two individual educators who will be awarded
this Presidential Cybersecurity Education Award.
The program office
anticipates announcing this award on October 1, 2019. Clearance is
requested by September 20, 2019 and they are seeking a 3 year
clearance. The notice therefore would include emergency and 60 day
language. Pursuant to Executive Order 13870 of May 2, 2019, as
published in the Federal Register at 84 Fed. Reg. 20,523 – 20,527
(May 9, 2019), the Department, in consultation with the Deputy
Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and
Counterterrorism and the National Science Foundation, has developed
and implemented, consistent with applicable law, an annual
Presidential Cybersecurity Education Award to be presented to one
elementary and one secondary school educator per year who best
instill skills, knowledge, and passion with respect to
cybersecurity and cybersecurity-related subjects. The Department
will solicit nominations for the two individual educators who will
be awarded this Presidential Cybersecurity Education Award. The
Department plans to announce this award on October 1, 2019.
However, the Department must wait until the SORN is published in
the Federal Register to accept nominations. The Department
anticipates that the SORN should be published by December 2019, at
which point nominations can be submitted to the Department. The
nomination period will close January 31, 2020. By announcing in
October, this allows nominators more time to put together the
information required to submit nominations. The Department will
prompt nominators to refer to the website (still under
construction) for updated details on when nominations can be
submitted to the Department. Between February and April 2020, the
Department will conduct an internal review of the nominations,
recommend one elementary and one secondary awardee to the
Department of Education’s Office of the Secretary, and awardees
will be recognized during Teacher Appreciation Week in May 2020.
This quick timeline will ensure meeting the President of the United
States’ Executive Order 13870 directive to make awards within one
year of the Order being signed.
