In response
to the federal goal to connect all of the nation's school classrooms,
libraries, hospitals, and law enforcement agencies to the information
superhighway, the U.S. Department of Education commissioned a survey
to obtain current data to compare with baseline data (obtained in
1994) on the status of advanced telecommunications in public elementary
and secondary schools. Data was gathered in the fall of 1995 from
a nationally representative sample of 917 schools regarding the
types and location of advanced telecommunications equipment; services
currently available; current computer networking capabilities; plans
to connect to wide area networks; the formal role groups have in
developing telecommunications plans; and barriers that limit acquisition
or use of advanced telecommunications. This report contains tabular
summaries (16 data tables, 16 standard error tables in Appendix
A, and four reference tables in Appendix B) that highlight selected
findings based on the data collected. The tables present data for
public schools and for schools by instructional level, size of enrollment,
metropolitan status, and geographic region of the country. Appendices
also include a glossary of terms, the survey methodology and data
reliability, the survey instrument, and background information.
