The document discusses the E-Rate program which provides discounts for telecommunications, internet access, internal connections, and basic maintenance for schools and libraries. To qualify, schools must have a technology plan that sets goals for using technology to improve education, outlines professional development for staff, and evaluates progress towards goals. The sample technology plan aims to provide teachers and students access to computers and the internet, maintain the network, integrate technology into the curriculum, use data to inform decisions, and increase student achievement through technology.
