Guiney, Susan

School Business Affairs, v65 n8 p32-37 Aug 1999

Although schools are planning and implementing local area networks and Internet access, acquiring and maintaining technology can be exceptionally costly. Administrators must decide between pedagogical need versus a political, reactive "keeping up with the Joneses" mentality valuing high student-to-computer ratios. Schools need more technology staff.
