School districts warned about millions in expiring technology funds
State officials have urged school districts and charter schools to use $66 million in vouchers to buy technology before they expire next year.
The warning, issued Friday, pertains to funding remaining from an antitrust settlement with the Microsoft Corp. One set of vouchers must be redeemed by April; the other has a deadline in September.
Most of the available dollars, $212 million, have been claimed, but substantial resources remain, including more than $10 million for the Los Angeles Unified School District, according to the state’s most recent update onunused funds. L.A. Unified’s total share of the settlement was about $37 million.
