- W289279876 abstract "THE GREATEST CHANGE IN SCHOOLS in the last two decades, without a doubt, has been the onset of technology within districts and campuses. While few would argue that institutions have not benefited from increased technology access, school systems have had to scramble to come up with the funds necessary to support and sustain the ever-changing aspects of technology implementation in public education. While locating funding for technology can be a challenge, financial support can often be found if a school district searches in both conventional and unconventional places. Community Involvement One of the most beneficial strategies that a school system can employ when trying to secure technology funding is to involve the community in its mission and goals. The Beaufort County School District in South Carolina was faced with a dilemma concerning school technology funding as the community had evolved into one with a large retirement population. This population defeated all attempts to secure technology funding through tax increases at each election. Beaufort's school enrollment was continuing to rise because of younger adults moving in for job availability in the growing services industry, so the district had to convince the older population of the need for additional technology funds. District officials decided that the best way to engage the retirement population was to show them firsthand what was taking place in the schools and how technology was a key factor in learning. Officials approached residents of one of the largest retirement communities in the area and asked them to volunteer in the schools. This capitalized on their different areas of expertise while exposing them to the needs of the schools in which they were serving. It also brought about a dramatic change in attitude, which has led to Beaufort County approving two referendums for $120 million each during the last eight years (Brooks-Young 2003). Clearly, if a district wants to secure funds from the surrounding community, its needs must be made known personally to different demographics of the community. Student Support Another way to save available funds, if not secure them, is to involve the students in some of the technology support areas where a district might otherwise hire outside maintenance. Students can be valuable in helping to run network wiring and maintain school Web sites, among other facets of technology support and maintenance. …" @default.
