School Planning and Management, 2015
Washington, D.C. – School system leaders identified affordability as the primary obstacle for robust connectivity, according to CoSN’s (the Consortium for School Networking’s) 3rd Annual Infrastructure Survey released today.
Conducted in partnership with AASA, The School Superintendents Association, and MDR, the report collected data from K-12 school leaders and technology directors nationwide.
In addition to affordability, the nationwide survey reveals that districts continue to face significant challenges with improving network speed and capacity and increasing competition for broadband services. The results also detail the impact of changes to the E-rate program, as well as the growing issue of digital equity for technology access outside of the classroom.
