Large+district

 A District that is large in size and diverse in student population is eligible for a wide range of state and federal funds to support teaching, learning, and management of District educational environments and administration. In addition, district leadership should always be monitoring other potential funding sources to support the implementation of the District Technology Plan. Identification of revenue streams is one way of securing funds for future initiatives; another includes stretching existing funds to go further, thus enabling dollars saved to be redirected. The following sections outline both present and future funding sources that can be tapped to advance the initiatives outlined in this technology plan.

A budget for funding aspects of the //Instructional Technology Plan// can be developed based upon a set of assumptions for software, hardware, and maintenance services. Major assumptions that should be used in developing this budget are outlined below. It should be noted that, at the time of this writing, the District has applied for federal E-rate discounts to be applied to the building of wide-area, and local area networks. These discounts will have a major impact on the any technology plan budget. In determining an accurate overall cost of the instructional technology program, the following process needs to be followed:  Accurately identify the population to be served  Establish technology target levels  Identify accurate standards and cost per unit for equipment that meets standards  Determine total needed  Deduct existing resources meeting standards  Calculate unmet need  Determine phase-in by year  Identify funding sources
