School Funding For New Technology

Sponsored by: ARobinson,KGallagher and SAdsit

Purpose: This bill is being written because in our country, not all schools can succeed in their educational programs because they don't have the right techonolgy. This is a problem in many schools throughout our nation and the Federal Government needs to take a stand. All students need to learn learn how to use computers and programs, especially during the High School years, because they will use them for the rest of their lives. Almost every job today uses technology and students need a basic understanding of how compters work to be sucessful for the rest of their lives. The feature of our country will be effected by this issue because of the jobs that our students will be involed with later in their lives. The better aquanited students are with technology when they are young, the better they will be when they have to use them for their jobs. The better they are at their jobs the more successful our country will be. The porpose of this bill is for all schools throughout our country, public and catholic, to have the same technology and supplies to be thrive in their education.

Eligibility:This bill is going to apply to all PUBLIC schools in the United States.

Terms and Benefits: To make this bill work, the expenses will come from the federal government collecting taxes. This will help schools get the money they need to pay for new technology and we will also encourage levys to raise at the local level. The money will go to the schools to get the technology they need.

Fiscal Impact: Right now are taxes are only spet on education by 4% we want to raise that number to 7% this money will go into the technology instead of the money going straight to the schools. This will make our tax money getting spent on something better.
