- Summary:
-
The total cost of ownership (TCO) of computer technology in California's K-12 public schools is assessed via a study of two high schools, one elementary school, and one school district that have implemented successful technology programs. The research covers four fundamental problems in technology ownership that add costs to schools and create problems for educators: (1) lack of technical expertise; (2) lack of sustained funding; (3) lack of incentive to manage technology efficiently; and (4) difficulties in managing technology programs. Three State policies are recommended to help schools and school districts identify, plan, and manage TCO for technology. The first requires schools to have separate budget accounts for technology in the school budget. The second divides State funding into four phases with each contingent on a school's readiness to proceed to the next phase. The third creates incentives for school districts to provide technology support more efficiently. Appendices provide the best practices for each phase of the life cycle of owning and managing technology, and descriptions and overviews of each of the study's schools and the school district.
