WHY: The State funding for the State-run Computers for Schools Program
ended on June 30, 2000. Through the generosity of the Blandin Foundation and
the Star Tribune, the program will continue for another year as part of the
Minnesota High Technology Foundation.
The Minnesota Computers for Schools Program is now a public-private
partnership which seeks to raise the quality and quantity of computer
technology in K-12 classrooms throughout Minnesota with the implementation of
an effective donation, production, and distribution system.
Along with announcing the new relationship, the Minnesota High Tech
Association will introduce the program's new Advisory Board. The board, which
will provide management guidance to the program, includes representatives from
the business community, the educational community and from the state of
Minnesota. The first activity of the Advisory Board will be to initiate a
search for a permanent Executive Director of the program.

Association, carmstrong@mhta.org or 651-683-3886.
