In conducting this study, the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission shall (i) seek to place few restrictions on local school divisions except that they adhere to their locally developed technology plans; (ii) examine the possibility of expanding the high school technology resource assistant initiative to include elementary, middle, and adult education schools, (iii) recognize the state share of the costs of support staff required to maintain equipment in schools that is necessary to meet the requirements of the Standards of Quality, other state law, or the Board of Education's regulations; (iv) evaluate the feasibility of support for teacher training, including the development of an online instructional and testing program to facilitate the achievement of technological competencies and assess such proficiencies; and (v) examine the integration of the technology replacement program into such formula. In addition, the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission is requested to study ways to enhance the use of federal assistance for educational technology, such as continuation of the E-rate program and the implementation of state tax credits for businesses that contribute technology resources to schools. The Commission must submit its report to the Governor and the 2004 Session of the General Assembly.
