SB38 **Title-** 21st Century School Update, __Equality__ for Everyone

Sarah Holt-IN- Republican Emily Keller- WA- Moderate
 * Sponsors**

**Purpose**- The goal of our bill is to ensure that every school has modern/updated technology. At the same time school districts around the nation are trying to get modern technology as a result of strained state and local budgets. Most inner schools cannot afford the same technology as other schools. The bill will also fund an online class for the teachers to take. This class will show the teachers how to use the new technology. We will send the money in advance to the online class. If the teachers do not take the class they will not receive the new technology. The teachers have to know how to use the technology in order to teach the students how to use it. Raising taxes would not help raise money for the schools because some people in these inner cities can’t afford to pay the taxes. Updated technology will ensure that the students have a firm foundation in learning and they can have the resources they need at their fingertips. The goal is to have equality in learning areas, so all students can have a successful economic future. You should vote for our bill to help kids in their learning and support them, for they are our future to our economy and need all the resources they can get. Every student has the right to a high education, rich or poor. You should vote for our bill because it will help students in the future by giving them a chance to get to know technology and be familiar with it. This bill can help a ton of students become successful.


 * Eligibility- **
 * Inner city __ schools __ that cannot afford updated technology
 * Any __ school __ that cannot get updated technology or has major budget cuts

Terms and Benefits- The goal of our bill, like said in the purpose, is to ensure that every school has modern/updated technology. If we can make learning and teaching easier and more understandable for __ students __ and teachers, then we can make higher educated students which leads to the students having a better life in collage and eventually getting a job. This bill is important because these students are the future to our economy and we should be supporting them and helping them all we can and this bill does that. This bill will be started now and hopefully passed by the start of 2013. We will then start collecting the technology we need by using the trucks to transport the technology to the __ warehouse __ located in Cleveland, Ohio. In the summer of 2014, we will start delivering and installing the updated technology into the schools. The old technology in the schools, if any, will be put into the trucks used for delivering and will be recycled for new technology. This separating will be done at the __ warehouse __. Every five years we hope to renew this bill and support any new schools that need help.
 * The Americans that would be affected by this bill would be the kindergarten through twelfth grade students and teachers who cannot afford a 21st century update. They will be the ones getting the new technology update. When they get the new update, they will be able to increase their learning ability which will help them in the future.
