districts. A school district may use the block grants for any purpose related to
educational technology, except that it may not use the grants to pay the salary or
benefits of any school district employee.

under current law, an eligible school district may use the block grants for any purpose
related to providing classrooms with access to telephone service, including wireless
service. As under current law, the block grants may not be used to pay the salary or
