OTAN Canvas Happenings this Spring
New or Renewing OTAN Canvas Licenses?
OTAN is happy to announce some positive changes to how we process Canvas Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs). The Canvas 2024-25 MOU is now designated as evergreen, meaning, once processed, it will remain in effect for five years or until either your AGENCY or OTAN opts not to renew it.
Another new change is OTAN will pay for the full cost of all AGENCY Canvas licenses for fiscal years 2024-25 and 2025-26, pending final approval of OTAN’s contract for the next grant cycle by the California Department of Education (CDE).
Any new licenses will be available as of July 1, 2024, provided an AGENCY 2024-25 MOU is on file with OTAN.
