E-Rate is a technology discount program that provides discounts on technology needs like internet, email, and wiring to schools that qualify based on economic need. To receive discounts, schools must submit an application and have an approved technology plan that assesses current technology, sets goals and a budget, and outlines professional development and evaluation methods. Warren ISD's technology plan calls for updating hardware, preparing students with new technologies, training teachers, and maintaining their network with a $231,533 budget from multiple funding sources.
