RE: BUILDING ON OUR TENET FOR THE LEARNER

Numerous initiatives exist currently to take advantage of emerging technologies.  By moving communication to the web, parents can be digitally involved with schools.  For example:

The Digital California Project is a project of CENIC. A multi-million dollar effort funded by the State of California, the DCP was designed to build the necessary network infrastructure needed to prepare California's schools to take advantage of tomorrow's advances in network technology. In essence, CENIC is developing an advanced-services network to serve the entire California K-20 education and research community.
