Our district has no money for equipment.
Every district has access to monies for education.
The Division of Special Education at the State Department of Education can be contacted for more specific information. We do not know who our tech coordinator is. Contact your local Director of Special Education to find out who has been designated to provide technical support. Call and introduce yourself to this person. We have just purchased all new Macintosh equipment in our district.
