Summary
This file contains data from a 2000 quick-response survey, "Survey on Internet Access in U.S. Public Schools, Fall 2000" (FRSS 79). The survey was completed by school officials at elementary and secondary public schools. These officials were asked about Internet access and other information technology resources at their schools. Questions covered availability of computers, school and classroom level Internet access, acceptable use policies, access to technology after school hours, whether or not particular groups within the school (i.e., administrative staff, teachers, students, students with disabilities) were able to access the Internet, number of computers on site, speed of Internet connection, sources of technology funding, school personnel for advanced telecommunications support, and availability of special software and hardware for students with disabilities.
