eSchool News online - New bill would revamp ed-tech funding
With bi-partisan support, a new bill was introduced this past week that would improve funding for educational technology. The Achievement Through Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) Act would target monies toward schools in need of improvement as well as increase funds of block grants. In addition, this bill would require that school districts increase the amount of money they spend on professional development toward technology. This bill would actually overhaul the existing Enhancing Educational Through Technology (EETT) program that currently funds technology in education.
