Sec. 6843. State application

    To receive funds under this subpart, each State educational agency 
shall submit a statewide educational technology plan which may include 
plans submitted under the Goals 2000: Educate America Act [20 U.S.C. 
5801 et seq.] or other statewide technology plans which meet the 
requirements of this section. Such application shall be submitted to the 
Secretary at such time, in such manner, and accompanied by such 
information as the Secretary may reasonably require. Each such 
application shall contain a systemic statewide plan that--
        (1) outlines long-term strategies for financing technology 
    education in the State and describes how business, industry, and 
    other public and private agencies, including libraries, library 
    literacy programs, and institutions of higher education, can 
    participate in the implementation, ongoing planning, and support of 
    the plan; and
        (2) meets such other criteria as the Secretary may establish in 
    order to enable such agency to provide assistance to local 
    educational agencies that have the highest numbers or percentages of 
    children in poverty and demonstrate the greatest need for 
    technology, in order to enable such local educational agencies, for 
    the benefit of school sites served by such local educational 
    agencies, to carry out activities such as--
            (A) purchasing quality technology resources;
            (B) installing various linkages necessary to acquire 
        connectivity;
            (C) integrating technology into the curriculum in order to 
        improve student learning and achievement;
            (D) providing teachers and library media personnel with 
        training or access to training;
            (E) providing administrative and technical support and 
        services that improve student learning through enriched 
        technology-enhanced resources, including library media 
        resources;
            (F) promoting in individual schools the sharing, 
        distribution, and application of educational technologies with 
        demonstrated effectiveness;
            (G) assisting schools in promoting parent involvement;
            (H) assisting the community in providing literacy-related 
        services;
            (I) establishing partnerships with private or public 
        educational providers or other entities to serve the needs of 
        children in poverty; and
            (J) providing assurances that financial assistance provided 
        under this part shall supplement, not supplant, State and local 
        funds.
