In Florida we have developed technology plans at the local schools that 
became part of the district plan that was submitted to the state. The state 
provides moneys to the districts in the form of a grant based on the plans 
then the individual schools write grants for a certain allocated cap based 
on their school technology plan. This may not be ideal, but as a result my 
school has been retrofitted(in progress) this has paid for teacher training 
as one third of the money has to be allocated for teacher training, 
software, hardware, etc. Our PTA has purchased through fundraisers one 
computer for each classroom in our 1000 student Intermediate school. WE may 
not be on the cutting edge, but without the state funding we would have 
very little. Just my two cents worth.
