The South Carolina K-12 School Technology Initiative was founded in 1996 as part of the General Assembly’s proactive approach to addressing technology infrastructure, connectivity and education in schools throughout the state.

The Initiative is steered by a unique public/private partnership guides the distribution of funds appropriated by the governor and General Assembly. The partnership includes the SC Department of Administration, SC Department of Education, SC Education Oversight Committee, SC Educational Television, SC State Library, AT&T and the SC Telecommunications and Broadband Association.

The funds help meet schools’ needs for software, hardware, connectivity, digital content, instructional technologies, cybersecurity protection and professional development opportunities.
