• W222574491 abstract "THERE'S AN OLD ANTI-WAR bumper sticker that reads, It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber. If anything, that day seems even further away, what with schools needing ever more money to obtain technology that will keep their students competitive. Bake sales are just not going to cut it. As Wayne Hartschuh, the executive director of the Delaware Center for Educational Technology (www.dcet.k12.de.us), explains, as a systemic provider of funding, the federal budget is the only option, so technology often competes with other things that need to be funded. Technology, in many cases, takes a back seat to other priorities. So why are some districts struggling with the issue while others seemingly have it under control? One answer: imagination. I've been amazed at the way some districts are funding their initiatives, says Cathy Poplin, deputy associate superintendent for educational technology at the Arizona Department of Education. We had one small, urban district sell a piece of land to fund its 1-to-1 initiative. That was about 10 years ago and they're still reaping the benefits. Poplin adds that some districts are finding out how flexible the rules of federal funding programs can be. For example, Title V, Part A--innovation funding--can be used for she says. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] And in qualifying rural areas, Title VI, Part B, funds can be applied. School districts are also blending money, seeing how funds can be used for technology, Poplin says. just getting smarter about how to use federal funding. When federal grants still aren't enough and state legislation isn't filling the gaps, a number of school districts are looking for--and finding--viable alternatives. Many of our school districts are not looking at federal funding solely. They're taking local money, state money, foundation money, any grant program or opportunity, says Monica Beglau, director of the eMINTS (Enhancing Missouri's Instructional Networked Teaching Strategies; www.emints.org) National Center, a national nonprofit organization that offers professional development programs for instructors, based at the University of Missouri. One example, she notes, is a small school district in Missouri that applied for and won a Hewlett-Packard (www.hp.com) grant that would pay for tablet computers and 10 digital cameras. In addition, the district applied for and won a state grant and a separate independent grant for science and technology. They had been applying for grants for five years with no luck, she says. But by taking the applications and looking at the reader comments and then reworking the applications, this year they will receive all of them. When discussing alternative funding methods with school districts, Beglau says national foundations are unfortunately becoming less of a source for technology grants. Many of the foundations, even though they may have a reputation as national organizations, are fairly specific in what locale they will fund. Also, Beglau says, national foundations have moved beyond the idea of equipping schools, which was their focus about five years ago. Today they are looking to a different mission. Hartschuh explains that sometimes the trick is in allocating funds, especially with grant money. Sometimes you can get larger grants that include a technology [component] and specify that a certain amount be allocated to [buying] technology. That's how you can get things put into place--make it part of a bigger grant. According to Palmer Pierson, field account executive at solution provider CDW-G (www.cdwg.com), there is only one consistent source of support. 1 think the only permanent [way] is going out to the taxpayers and parents, he says. Referendums in particular can be used by IT departments to plan for not just replacing existing but also jump-starting their technology based on what's coming down the road. …" @default.
