According to the legislation calling for the study, Georgia's economic future is intertwined with the health and well-being of the state's cities and counties.

The money the school system will receive is only part of the $49.6 million in computer technology funds sent to schools throughout Georgia in FY 1995.

Technology in the classroom is a centerpiece of Miller's education initiatives funded by the Georgia Lottery. A total of $299.8 million in lottery revenue is earmarked tor education in FY 95.

Soon after the lottery began funding technology in the classroom, the governor opened nine Education Technology Centers around the state to train teachers to make the most of the new equipment. Last year, $1.6 million was appropriated for this effort. Miller has proposed cutting $16.9 million out of the central office bureaucracy of Georgia public school systems and move those savings to the classroom. This will fund part-time technology specialists in every Georgia public school.
