Governor's Signing of Important Education Technology Bill

The Governor signed Senate Bill 1637 extending the sunset of the regional California Technology Assistance Project (CTAP) and the Statewide Educational Technology Services (SETS) program from January 1, 2009 to January 1, 2014.

"These programs represent the backbone of education technology in California and significantly have increased and enhanced the use of education technology in the classroom since their creation in 1998," O'Connell said. "CTAP and SETS both play a critical role in helping California narrow the achievement gap by integrating new and relevant ways to increase academic rigor in the classroom through technology. I applaud Governor Schwarzenegger for signing this bill that will ensure that valuable education resources remain available to those students who need it the most."
